Jubilee Picnic of KORAB Ship Technology Students' Club

Jubilee Picnic of KORAB Ship Technology Students' Club
On Saturday 1 June, Children's Day, the KORAB Ship Technology Students' Circle Jubilee Picnic was held. The event was of special significance as KSTO KORAB is celebrating its centenary in 2024. The Circle was founded in July 1924 by a group of Polish students at the Technical University in the Free City of Gdansk. The main aim of the founders was to provide themselves with the right conditions for studying in order to be able to develop the shipbuilding industry in Poland, which had regained access to the sea after 123 years.

Over the past hundred years KORAB has undergone many changes, both in the scope of its activities and in the conditions under which its members work. Today, students are able to carry out projects of unlimited variety, enjoying opportunities that previous generations could only dream of. Taking advantage of these conditions, KORAB students have over the years demonstrated extraordinary commitment and creativity, realising ambitious projects such as pedal boats, solar hydrofoils, submersibles and remote-controlled yachts.

Careers in the open air - meetings with industry at FMEST

Career in the Open Air
The series of outdoor meetings "Career in the Open Air," organized by the Career Office of Gdańsk University of Technology and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology, attracted hundreds of interested students. As part of this event, which took place over several weeks, students had the opportunity to meet representatives from five different companies: Eaton, Expom, NFM Poland, Mondi, and BaseGroup.

Each of the meetings, despite a common formula, had its own unique course. This was due to the different visions of the individual companies, which tried to interest the participants in various ways. The aim of these events was to present students and graduates of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology with career prospects in the industry and the opportunities that await them.

Success for KSTO Korab at the 2024 International Water Bike Regatta

KSTO Korab
Between 16 and 18 May, the KSTO Korab Scientific Circle team enjoyed their biggest success in seven years at the prestigious International Waterbike Regatta, claiming 2nd place on the podium overall.

Studying is not only about learning, but also about developing your passions and interests. KSTO Korab students combine their studies with their passion for water sports - building watercraft and then competing with them in international regattas. The team of 15 students worked hard for four days, right from their arrival on Wednesday, to ensure that all the watercraft were in maximum working order. This was the culmination of months of intensive preparation and the efforts of the entire team.
