Neural engineering and Neurotech is rapidly growing in popularity in industry, academia, and consumer markets. With UW being a world class research institution in neurotechnologies, Synaptech holds the mission of educating interested students on cutting edge research and developments in neurotech through hands-on experience. This year, Synaptech is launching long-term projects (for NeurotechX's Student Clubs Competition) and hardware video tutorials, as well as the continuation of hackathons and workshops to enrich the opportunities available for students interested in joining the neurotech community. We request STF funding to support the expansion of these project-based efforts as student interest has been rapidly increasing.

The Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology has a 20 year relationship with the Techfee committee that has enabled us to acquire, maintain, and upgrade storage, servers, high speed networking, and software to provide a wide variety of services to UW students. Over 1500 UW students are using our system on regular basis and we've enrolled over 8000 students in our service in the past 10 years. With UW STF support in partnership with CSDE, Arts and Sciences, and the NIH, students get near instant access to some of the very the best available computing services for their 24/7/365 remote use We've historically been awarded about $250K of support from the techfee. We initiated our first block 2 years ago and, though a no-fault misunderstanding, we locked our funding at a much lower level than we've historically needed to run the service. We hope to correct this error in our block funding, or at least fund a catch-up proposal this Spring 2022

The Husky Robotics Team is a registered student organization of 113 students competing in the Rover Challenge Series, a series of competitions in Asia, Europe, and the Americas with teams from all over the world. We compete in the University Rover Challenge in the summer and the Canadian International Rover Challenge in the summer and winter. To compete, we bring together a team of diverse and motivated students to annually design, build, and operate a mock Mars Rover. Our Mars rovers perform tasks that range from pouring fuel into vehicles, searching for life, and autonomously finding objectives in an almost mile-wide area. Our team is divided into subsystems: Arm, Business, Mobility, Electronics, Manufacturing, Software, and Instrumentation to cover the competition’s large number of interdisciplinary tasks. Despite having a budget smaller than many other robotics teams, our team was able to place 1st in the US and 3rd overall at the Virtual University Rover Challenge in June 2021. However, our team still requires a large amount of manufacturing, electrical, and storage equipment to complete our rovers while effectively and safely collaborating. The equipment we are requesting is critical to our team’s continued success and will affect the operations of all our team’s members.
