Student teams and projects

At Politecnico, students have the opportunity to join various Student Teams and Student Societies registered with the University. 

Members of Student Teams and Societies work together to create a project that allows them to boost cultural and technical skills. At the same time, it is also a great way to meet fellow students

Thanks to these activities, students take on the challenge of developing a project, which requires creativity and enthusiasm. It is a way to combine academic growth with personal growth. 

The groups are very heterogeneous: students belong to different degree programmes and come from many different countries. 

This melting pot of skills and knowledge represents an added value to the project.

Existing student teams

The team is active since 2009 in the International competition between universities Motostudent ((www.motostudent.com), in which students design and build a racing motorcycle that every two years races on the MotoGP circuit of Aragon (Spain). Two different categories are present: one with electric engine ("Electric") and one with internal combustion engine ("Petrol", 250 cc 4stroke). The team always participated in the "Petrol" category and won two times the design phase (edition 2011/12 and edition 2013/14) and one time the race on track (edition 2013/14). Starting from the edition 2019/20, the team participates also to the competition in the "Electric" category. The design of the vehicle is a multidisciplinary problem which involves students coming from the major Engineering Courses of Politecnico

The A.K.A.Noah team, Also known as Noah, was officially born at the start of the a.y 2019/2020 with the aim of projecting a system installed on a boat to collect rubbish on the Po river and to monitorate the health of the river ecosystem sampling in a traditional way (with chemical analysis in laboratory) and in a new way: programming a Raspberry Pi connected to specific sensors. In this last way the lecture of the data will be available on a desktop on the boat . All the outdoor activities, with the support of CUS TORINO Canoa e Canottaggio, will take place in the section of the Po river from the end of Moncalieri to Murazzi. The team will also make a short film which will be a way to communicate and spread awarness in the urban community. The aims of the team embrace many of the Sustainable Development Goals of United Nations for 2030. The academic tutor is Elena Comino, from DIATI, teacher of Applied Ecology and Sustainable Processes for the Environment. Thanks to the many technical skills necessary to fulfill all the goals, the team is very heterogenous: our memebers come from the area of environmental, chemical, mechanical, computer and mechatronic engineering, design and architecture.

The group was born from the atelier "FINAL DESIGN STUDIO - 01QMIQN", AA 2018/19. During the course we joined to the design competition RESILIENT HOMES DESIGN CHALLENGE, called by World Bank, United Nation, Build Academy. The aim was to design a resilient housing solution. Our proposal, the Core House, a bamboo houseboat able to withstand floods and strong winds, won. This was the beginning of a process of exhibitions and presentations of the winning projects around the world. At the award ceremony in Washington, DC, March 2019, we woven links with the other winners who are currently making prototypes of their proposals. So the idea of the STUDENT TEAM was born, which aims to keep up with these realities. We aim at the elaboration of executive drawings and the subsequent construction in spring 2021 of part of the housing module, the Core Unit, which in the project turns out to be the resistant heart of the house. The bamboo prototype will have to be structurally stable and ready to withstand floods and strong winds. The buoyancy system will have to be built and tested. At the same time, the prototype will have to guarantee self-sufficiency to its inhabitants in case of danger or not. First of all, therefore, we will carry out structural analyses and virtual simulations in order to guarantee constructive feasibility, energy autonomy and resilience. Next, we will build.

The FoRTI team project is encapsulated in its anagram: Formazione (Training), Recupero (Renovation), Tradizione (Tradition), Innovazione (Innovation). The team¿s main objective is to provide students with the opportunity to learn by doing, integrating conventional didactics with practical experience on construction sites; thus the group promotes an alternative learning model, participating in direct contact with the materials and with the local know-how. Our training construction sites take place in the Ossola Valley, in northern Piedmont, an area rich in traditional buildings and villages characterised by the massive use of stone, which is gradually being abandoned - a tendency that we intend to contrast through on-site interventions and with the collaboration of non profit organisations already working in the area. We therefore aim at the preservation and transmission of traditional building techniques and the rehabilitation of the vernacular heritage. The logic of the training worksite is based on the community sharing of a project, enriched by the contribution of the individual subjects, in a combination of experimentation of construction techniques and collaboration with professional figures such as artisans and professionals in the bio-based construction sector, with the aim of integrating tradition and innovation and implementing an inter-generational as well as inter-territorial exchange, offering students the opportunity to take a more conscious attitude in the conception of design proposals. This takes place, in practice, through a series of intensive workshops, in the structure of 'Summer Schools'; to date, five have been held, each lasting 10 days, starting in 2021, under the supervision of Prof. A. Bocco, the DIST department and the LASTIN laboratory of the Politecnico di Torino, and in collaboration with Associazione Canova, Accademia nel Cantiere, Anab Piemonte and Green Think.

The team was founded in the academic year 2015/2016 as a response to a particularly felt need within the academic context of an interdisciplinary group of students, namely experiencing the "learning by doing" approach before entering the employment world. The goal of the project is recovering social spaces in the Turin area using self-building techniques and natural materials, generating multiple benefits, firstly, the opportunity for students to learn various construction techniques with a practical approach; but also, giving back to the city common spaces for the community. During the first two years, the team worked for the restauration of the Red Room in the Cecchi Point Hub. The requalification started with a co-design phase involving students, professors, external experts, associations within Cecchi Point and users, favoring a bottom-up architectural approach and the inclusion of students and citizens in the transformation of the city, encouraging the sense of community. Natural materials such as raw earth, wood, hemp, straw and lime were used in the building site; allowing the experimental verification of various techniques aimed at simplifying the construction process and introducing the advantages of these solutions also in urban areas. A succession method chosen within the team allows new students from year to year to guide new projects and construction sites eligible to the main objectives, with the support of ex-students of La Termitière, recently established as a formal nonprofit association, "Accademia nel Cantiere". During 2020 the team will work in the San Salvario district, to carry out the recovery of the Music Room of the ASAI association, which has been a protagonist for years in the social and cultural life of the neighborhood.

'Mi Lego al Territorio' is a team that aims to design and build LEGO®'s models that allow us to inform and raise youngster's awareness about natural phenomena dangers. The name of the team means 'I bind myself to the territory', it is a pun on the similarity between the Italian verb 'lego', to bind, and the famous toy company. Using LEGO®'s bricks allows us to achieve more innovative and interactive educational activities. We built a scale model of a catchment to show the effects of the hydrogeological instability. Moreover, we created a one-directional vibrating platform capable of simulating an earthquake to explain the seismic phenomena we built a one-directional vibrating platform. We are currently designing new concepts to improve the models mentioned above and to show more complex natural events. Since current models are quite expensive and hard to replicate, we are designing smaller and cheaper models as well. Beyond activities in schools, the team took part in other events organised by institutions like 'Protezione Civile Regione Piemonte' (Piedmont Civil Safety) and 'Croce Rossa Italiana' (Italian Red Cross). Those events were based on the common interest in safety and education towards self-protection.

The project involves the design, construction and testing of an autonomous driving electric competition vehicle. The vehicle will thus be able to participate in international competitions, in which it will be evaluated on the basis of its design qualities and engineering efficiency. The best known competition is the one proposed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), called Formula SAE, which can be attended by teams made up of undergraduate and master's degree students. Until 2016, the competition included only two categories: one for internal combustion vehicles and one for electric vehicles. Starting in 2017, Formula SAE introduced a third category for autonomous vehicles. Therefore, university students will be engaged in the design and testing of a vehicle compliant with the competition regulations and capable of moving without a driver thanks to the data collected and processed, respectively, by sensors and algorithms of perception, control and planning of the trajectory. The competition is organized in a series of static tests and a series of dynamic tests conducted without any human driver.
