Join UCCS\u2019 Hyperfalcos team, which competes in the annual SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition to create a fast, safe vacuum-sealed pod for a transit system inspired by Elon Musk\u2019s designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally proposed in an open-source design released by a joint team from Tesla and SpaceX, the Hyperloop conceptualizes a network of sealed vacuum tubes that could carry passengers in a pod at high speeds over long distances. Since 2017, teams have competed globally in the Hyperloop Pod Competition to design and construct the fastest, safest pod prototypes possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Hyperloop Pod Competition is currently on hold, the team continues to research induction, machine learning and more in preparation for future competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No STEM background? No problem. All majors and class years are welcome with no prior knowledge needed, and Hyperfalcos is seeking members for its business, mechanical and electrical teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hyperfalcos business team is seeking members interested in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>media promotion<\/li><li>bookkeeping<\/li><li>networking<\/li><li>sponsorship acquisition, and<\/li><li>tech writing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interested?
