Técnico Solar Boat is a portugese university project, established by a group of students of the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon from different engineering fields. The team is composed by 71 members focused on the development of both competing boats (one in the energy class and another in the solar class).
The great objetive of TSB relies on a more pratical and closer to reality education. The team prioritizes the internally made components to the comercial ones, leading to a higher knowledge acquired by its members and being one step closer to becoming a world changing engineer.
The combination of sustainability and engineering, specially in the marine industry, has a huge space to grow and the team sees this competition ,beyond being an incredible opportunity to put their work on test, as a place to learn and share information, generating a boom in the sector.
