The University of Manitoba Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race team (GNCTR) is a group of engineering students who compete annually against other engineering schools to design and build the fastest, safest, and most innovative toboggan which has a running surface of concrete. The toboggans are raced on a large snow hill near the hosting University's campus, and must also be displayed and presented for its technical aspects. The builds take place during the year and involve designing the skis, the frame, the brakes, the steering, and putting all the pieces together. The team also prepares a technical display for the competition, and promotes the team with spirit chants and costumes that match the toboggan's theme. Our team is currently preparing for the January 2023 competition in Kelowna. To learn more about what we do, visit our website at https://umgnctr.ca/.

Benefits: Make new friends, learn hands on skills, opportunity to travel, and applying engineering concepts you learned in class.
