UVic Game DevAuriCollings244.392024-06-208+hrsOn June 20, the club will host a week-long Game Jam. Participants develop a game from scratch based on a theme voted on by the club one week prior to the start date. Historically, the club has only been able to offer prizes (typically club merchandise), to the top 3 placements. As the club and its game jams have increased in popularity, we’ve seen a large uptick in both the scale and amount of these teams. Consequently, it has become less feasible for our administration to fund an effective and substantial prize pool. The project grant would both facilitate and expand upon this pool, bringing more widespread interest to these competitions and helping to maintain the exciting and competitive environment we’ve already established.Throughout the club's history, semesterly game jams have been among the most anticipated and fruitful events we host. Numerous UVic students and alumni have formed studios, built professional relationships, and developed successful titles based on their submissions to these jams. Examples of these include Peglin by Red Nexus Games, and Random Access Mayhem by Xylem Studios - the latter of which won an award at GDC in April. They serve as an opportunity to enter game development, encouraging collaboration and facilitating networking opportunities. Therefore, continuing to offer Game Jams remains a core part of our vision, and the need to make them more enticing to participants is an ongoing process that this grant would aid in.

UVic Formula HybridConnorFedrigo244.392024-08-018+hrsWe are requesting $600 to fund the design and manufacturing of circuit boards & the wiring of our gas-electric hybrid race car and its high-voltage battery pack. We are going to purchase several printed circuit boards that we have designed for fusing, arc-suppressing switch circuits, and high-current switches that can be activated by our low-current microcontrollers. We also need to purchase several off-the-shelf parts that meet our competition's rigid safety requirements for heat resistance, rain-proofing, and over-current protection. We need to purchase rolls of colour-coded hookup wire, automotive grade connectors, fuse-blade holders, bus bars, switches, enclosures, microchips, and more.This automotive electronics project gives UVic students valuable hands-on experience seeing their circuit board designs come to life and testing their circuits before installation in the car. Wiring harnesses are a consistent necessity of automotive construction in combustion vehicles as well as electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. Most vehicles maintain a physical separation of high-voltage and low-voltage circuits to reduce risk to occupants and mechanics. UVic engineering undergraduates need practical skills to stay competitive with the constantly-shifting job market. Completing this project is integral to our club completing our vehicle and taking 1st place again in our competition. The UVic community benefits from the Hybrid club competing and winning this competition as it helps solidify UVic's reputation as a developer of green technology.

UVic Live Music ClubOliviaSchmit244.392024-08-115hrsThe UVic Live Music Club plans to work with the Campus Community Garden to organize and put on a Summer Music Festival in August to highlight local talent and celebrate the end of the summer term, and the work that everyone has done! The event will include live music, food and refreshments, arts and crafts, and provide a space for student crafters and artists to sell homemade goods. Last year we successfully hosted this same event (with the support of the Special Project Grant) and we hope to replicate it again because of how much joy and love it brought to our community. It also proved to be a wonderful way to collaborate with another student group on campus! We would love to be able to host another one of these events so that we can continue to provide spaces for musicians, music-lovers, and garden-lovers to come together and celebrate our collective love for music and community!The UVic community will benefit from this project because of the encouragement to support fellow students in their art - whether that be in showing up to support and enjoy the music of UVic musicians, buying locally made goods by students, and in food donations which we hope to collect again at the entrance of the event. All of the food donations will go right back into the UVic community, as they will go right to the UVSS Food Bank. The event also at its core provides a space for students to come and have a fun time with other students enjoying the music of people in their community.

UVic Games ClubWalkerJones244.392024-06-018+hrsThere has been a big growth in interest in smaller, shorter, and more casual games. Many of the club's games are aimed at people who are into complex board games, so having a variety of "lighter" games could make it easier for new members to join.It is more likely for new members to stick around if they do not feel overwhelmed by complex games. Thus with a decent amount of smaller, simpler games, we will be able to more effectively advertise to those who would otherwise be overwhelmed.

Victoria Communist YouthDominicGibb244.392024-08-164hrsThis is an annual event which is hosted every year entitled Latin Night. For this occasion, popular contemporary and historical music of the Latin American community will be performed by a talented DJ at the Victoria Events Centre. This event draws finds its demographic in the extensive Latin American community in Victoria and is well attended by those who frequent such organizations as the Central American Support Committee (CASC), the Wallmapu - British Columbia Humanitarian Society and others.Four members of the club have just returned from a two week trip to Cuba where they experienced numerous cultural and social exhibitions such as dances, concerts, theatre performances, and lectures on written and spoken Cuban history, both pre-Spanish colonization and post. The club and the Uvic community will benefit from this event because it will give the attendees the opportunity to hear about the experiences of the club members and the contemporary conditions of Cuban life. Similarly, with the attendance of members of the Wallmapu Humanitarian Society, a discussion from some members of the Mapuche Indigenous community of Chile are planned to describe the contrasts and parallels of settler-colonialism in Canada and in the "southern cone" of Latin America. This event, having been hosted several years in a row, has consistently provided a welcoming and inclusive space to people of the Latin American and Central American community to meet one another and enjoy reminiscing on their cultural heritage. This event will also serve as an excellent space for those interested in Spanish or taking one of the numerous Spanish language courses or Latin American history courses offered at the university of Victoria.

Ecological Restoration ClubKasciaLovett244.392024-07-248+hrs(Please ignore this application if the ERC has submitted a different one! There was a break in communication caused by scheduling issues!) As the Ecological Restoration Club is continuing its efforts to restore and elevate the Garry Oak Ecosystem, native species nursery, and ERC's plot in the campus community garden on campus, many of our tools and materials need to be updated into to maintain safety in their use for our volunteers and on the natural system. Additionally, we are requesting funding for our signage project to create informative signs on the native species being planted. Requesting for 8+ hours as the project is a continuing process that will hopefully last on for years!Our club and the UVic community will benefit from the tools as our volunteers will be able to reduce the concentration of invasive species that reduce the growth of native species. This will allow for the campus grounds aesthetics to be improved as although English ivy can be pretty to an average bystander, it is hiding greater beauties. The informative signage will be used to educate those around who may not understand the significance of the species present. Many times native species are overlooked or look very similar to typical weeds but in reality are indigenous food systems or were here before us. A good-intending gardener may pull these species out killing them but when a sign is present, they would be able to compare what they see to the sign before mistaking the plant for another!

UVic Environmental Engineering ClubNoahWessels244.392024-09-204hrsThe UVic Environmental Engineering Club (UVEEC) is working to deploy a shallow water glider, designed for 30m-depth operation. The glider is a type of autonomous underwater vehicle which is driven by buoyancy changes from volume adjustment. Wings provide lift which push the glider forwards as it travels in a saw-wave motion. Gliders require less resources to operate when compared to conventional data collection methods using boats or buoys. The glider design process will have students creating concept designs, 3D modelling and running simulations, component sourcing and speccing, manufacturing, designing electrical boards, programming microcontrollers and the control system, and creating a long ranged communication system. We will test in McKinnon pool and in The Saanich inlet, where the glider will be launched to collect CTD data.
The event noted on the 21st of September is a presentation of the project in its current state at Rainhouse Manufacturing Ltd. in Victoria. Designed and manufactured components will be displayed and results of testing an analysis will be shared with industry professionals and other student groups.
The project will continue afterwards until manufacturing and testing are complete, at which point the underwater glider will be operated in the Saanich inlet to collect transverse profiles of salinity levels in 2 predetermined locations at the McKenzie-Bight Dive Site and off of Coles Bay. By monitoring the inlet with a glider, a new system of data collection can be used which may observe different trends compared to more stationary equipment monitoring. Upon completion of the data collection mission, a report will be written showing the findings from the glider operation.
Members who join UVEEC have the option of participating in several subsections depending on their interests and skills. We have Mechanical, Electrical, Software, and Ocean Science subsections who contribute to the glider project. An important aspect of our glider project is receiving feedback from mentors, who are professionals in the industry. In the past semester we have met with glider and underwater sensor technicians, as well as several oceanography and ocean physics professors to receive feedback on our designs and mission goals. This greatly improves student's design skills and engineering outlook.
At UVEEC, Engineering students get a chance to work on a real world project that will make a difference in the local environment. We aim to offer students practical education through hands-on design, manufacturing, troubleshooting, and testing experience. Students get to connect with local engineering companies and industry professionals to build competencies and their professional network. Interdisciplinary work (throughout various STEM programs) builds connections amongst the student body and fosters project management, teamwork, and leadership skills, while also opening doors to research opportunities. Meetings, worksessions, and skill development sessions are open to the general student body and UVEEC is always looking for new members.

University of Victoria Rocketry ClubNoahLetourneau244.392024-08-198+hrsThe Andúril-1 supersonic sounding rocket is one of two endeavours undertaken by the University of Victoria Rocketry Club (UVR). It is a rocket designed to travel at supersonic speeds (speeds greater than the speed of sound, specifically for this launch vehicle at speeds of approximately MACH 2.2) whilst carrying an experimental, scientific payload for research purposes. It is to be flown at a national, country wide competition in late August and this event hosts teams from across the country. The rocket is a technically challenging endeavour, that tests the skills of our club members and encourages them to go beyond the classroom and gain practical experience in our chosen fields of study. The supersonic rocket project encompasses a variety of components, either a part of the assembly of, or related to the rocket itself. The rocket aerostructure comprises of the fins, body/fuselage, coupler, boat tail, and profile. The recovery system is a student designed and research method with a uniquely designed release mechanism and parachute delivery method. The telemetry system of the rocket comprises both purchased equipment and student designed ground support systems for receiving data and information from the rockets testing equipment. As well as unique payloads such as the protein experiment (explained further below) and student lead black box and strain gauge projects.

Additionally, on board this rocket we are launching a scientific payload developed and managed by a UVIC undergraduate student conducting their own scientific research. This research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of HSP-related cellular processes activated under stress conditions, and demonstrate the feasibility of establishing proteomic and genetic expression experiments in space; with potential applications in addressing various medical conditions including neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and cardiac diseases, as well as cancer and the development of pharmaceuticals.

This application specifically is for the purchase of scientific equipment and materials necessary to conduct the student research being performed by a Bio-chemist student on the team. This research is pivotal to both their studies and future PHD application, as well as providing valuable scientific information for the field of medical science and aerospace.
Our club, and the UVic community will benefit greatly from this project and its implications. This project will directly go towards benefitting student STEM innovation and research, providing a unique opportunity and outlet to provide meaningful change in the scientific field that contributes to the health and betterment of all people. Our club will particularly benefit directly through providing the funds necessary to construct the physical apparatus needed for the scientific experiment to take place. The final culmination of over 8 months of planning, design, and iteration will finally come to fruition in these final months before our competition.

Additionally, the UVic community as a whole will benefit greatly from this project through means of outreach, as well as student support. The rocket club is composed of over 50 members ranging from Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Humanities, and the Social Sciences and our success emboldens more young people and students to believe in what they can achieve. This project, and its technical difficulty thereof, means that we have to host regular skill development opportunities, workshops, and seminars to provide as much knowledge and teaching as possible. These events are published on our own social media pages and discord (primary community discussion method) and is open to any individuals a part of the UVic community. Additionally, students from high schools are regularly hosted by the club to see and learn from our team and all that we have accomplished. Many of these students are future UVic students themselves, and the club helps give them the excitement to come to this institution.

Lastly, it is not lost on the club members and students to see the generosity and support of the student body that represents them. Our club benefits from being able to test our limits and get closer and closer to the line that separates us between here and the void. The UVic community benefits from being able to support incredible student researches strive to help others (with no incentive but their own to succeed), particularly with the current experiment that directly relates to medical research and disease treatment. Furthermore, the community is able to impart their knowledge to the current student body, as well as the young and soon to be students-of-tomorrow.

UVic Submarine Racing ClubGraydonRourke244.392024-06-011hrThis funding request is focused on the manufacturing of a thermoforming machine for the use in prototyping or other design needs. Currently there is no easy way to make durable plastic formed products or moulds at UVic without outsourcing and therefore this device will allow any club the ability to use this machine for their thermoforming needs, reducing outsourcing costs. This machine would be incredibly useful and cost effective for the UVic Submarine Racing Club as it would allow the manufacturing of the main dome which currently costs around $4,000 total to outsource. Saving money and allowing simple prototyping of new designs would be incredibly beneficial to the completion of our current submarine and any submarine after that.Not only will this benefit the UVic Submarine Racing Club but other engineering clubs such as Aero, Formula and AUVIc have all shown interest in using the machine to create thermal formed fins, controllers or blades. This machine could easily be integrated into the new makerspace area and be usable for individuals across engineering disciplines. This device could ultimately be used by any student at UVic for thermoforming needs and could benefit and teach student how important thermoforming actually is.

Students Above StigmaEmilyLovell244.392024-06-018+hrsThe primary objective of this project is to procure a professional Canva Pro subscription, a robust visual content creation tool, enabling us to design and disseminate engaging and informative social media content. This initiative seeks to bridge the gap between scholarly mental health research and public understanding by translating complex information into accessible, visually appealing formats. The enhanced capability provided by Canva Pro will significantly improve our effectiveness in raising public awareness and education concerning mental health issues.This project will make it easier for everyone in the community to understand important information about mental health. By using Canva Pro to create engaging and easy-to-understand social media posts, we'll help break down complex mental health topics. This means more people will be able to talk about and understand mental health issues, which can reduce stigma and help everyone feel more supported and informed. It's a great way for us to use visual tools to make a big difference in how mental health is viewed in our community.
22
UVic Poker ClubChristopherDrew244.392024-06-088+hrsA heads-up specialty style tournament where players play in a bracket style format. The tournament will last anywhere between 4-8 hours, with blinds increasing every 30 minutes. All equipment, tournament clock and dealers will be provided. Funding would be used for equipment, such as table mats, chips, cards and more.There are zero options for poker tournaments at any casino on Vancouver Island. This project would give people who enjoy the game of poker, but don't have the means to travel to the mainland the opportunity to join a fun poker tournament with their peers. The UVic Poker Club does not take any profit, and this project will hopefully boost the engagement of the club and further promote our main goal of getting poker to be seen as a sport and skill, rather than a game of pure chance.
23
UVIC Polar Dippers Pierre-OlivierMcGeough244.392024-09-145hrsOur second Dip Fest event will be held in September. Our last event called "Dip Fest" was a charity festival that had local vendors, bands and sports tournaments for students to enjoy. We had over 1000 participants and $5000 raised for Charity through the event. Since it had significant positive impact and we had countless participants requesting another one we've decided to host another in September.We raised $5000 for charity and had over 1000 participants engaged at the festival.
