Our Teams

ROCKIT currently brings together around 30 members from a variety of engineering backgrounds. Our organization is divided into four teams: Avionics, Structure, Propulsion, and Management. Each group is led by a team lead, who, together with the board, forms our leadership team. Our flat structure helps us stay organized while keeping the flexibility and freedom students need to learn and grow.
