About

Team work

S.O.N.I.A prides itself of its hard work and teamwork; we believe that knowledge is best obtained through hands-on experience and collaboration. That is why we always strive for an educational environment open for all who desire to learn.

Sharing

Knowledge shouldn’t have limits. That is why S.O.N.I.A makes all projects open source for all teams to use. The club currently shares all GitHub repositories for other participating teams and enthusiasts alike to aid in the conception of their own autonomous submarine.

Constant innovation

Improvement and innovation on preexisting prototypes is what makes each generation of autonomous submarines better!
