Your favorite part of being on Team PrISUm?
Working with such great, dedicated people towards something that we can really make a difference with. Not only by showcasing our technology, but also inspiring others to continue pursuing their passions and pushing technology forward.

Even though the club may seem intimidating at first with everything going on, everyone is extremely nice and would love for you to reach out and ask questions. We are always thrilled to have new members and will work to find a good fit for you on the team.
