A.K.A.NOAH PoliTo - Also Known As Noah : The A.K.A.Noah team, Also known as Noah, was officially born at the start of the a.y 2019/2020 with the aim of projecting a system installed on a boat to collect rubbish on the Po river and to monitorate the health of the river ecosystem sampling in a traditional way (with chemical analysis in laboratory) and in a new way:
programming a Raspberry Pi connected to specific sensors. In this last way the lecture of the data will be available on a desktop on the boat . All the outdoor activities, with the support of CUS TORINO Canoa e Canottaggio, will take place in the section of the Po river from the end of Moncalieri to Murazzi. The team will also make a short film which will be a way to communicate and spread awarness in the urban community. The aims of the team embrace many of the Sustainable Development Goals of United Nations for 2030. The academic tutor is Elena Comino, from DIATI, teacher of Applied Ecology and Sustainable Processes for the Environment. Thanks to the many technical skills necessary to fulfill all the goals, the team is very heterogenous: our memebers come from the area of environmental, chemical, mechanical, computer and mechatronic engineering, design and architecture.
ASTRA: ASTRA is a student team that aims to develop numerous components for a functioning and independent moon base.
To "design a moon base" means to build an entire system of components that work with each other in order to ensure life on other planets: from the design of settlements, to the study of the reuse and recycling of resources and energy, up to the use of robots that can perform tasks in parallel with the human presence.
ColoriTO-disegnamo l'Architettura e la Città attorno a noi: We are a student team from the Politecnico di Torino, composed of students from various years of the Architecture and Engineering degree programs, along with students external to the Politecnico. Our goal is to create a new mural at the Castello del Valentino
Competitive programming PoliTo (CPPoliTo): The team, active since 2020, takes part in competitive programming events, that are contests where participants have to solve logical and mathematical problems by means of algorithms implemented in given programming languages.
We participate mainly in: Codeforces Rounds, Google Code Jam (individually); Google Hash Code and ICPC-SWERC (in teams).
The latter, the International Collegiate Programming Contest - Southwestern Europe Regional Contest (swerc.eu), is the team's main objective, as it is the oldest and most important programming competition among universities.
D.A.R.T. - Digital Art Research Team: Our team is based on the cooperation between humans and AIs, in order to create audiovisual
products that link old cinematographic mediums with those of the future.
We mainly produce high quality innovative short films, thanks to the possibilities of new technologies.
FoRTI: The FoRTI team project is encapsulated in its anagram: Formazione (Training), Recupero (Renovation), Tradizione (Tradition), Innovazione (Innovation). The team's main objective is to provide students with the opportunity to learn by doing, integrating conventional didactics with practical experience on construction sites; thus the group promotes an alternative learning model, participating in direct contact with the materials and with the local know-how. Our training construction sites take place in the Ossola Valley, in northern Piedmont, an area rich in traditional buildings and villages characterised by the massive use of stone, which is gradually being abandoned - a tendency that we intend to contrast through on-site interventions and with the collaboration of non profit organisations already working in the area. We therefore aim at the preservation and transmission of traditional building techniques and the rehabilitation of the vernacular heritage. The logic of the training worksite is based on the community sharing of a project, enriched by the contribution of the individual subjects, in a combination of experimentation of construction techniques and collaboration with professional figures such as artisans and professionals in the bio-based construction sector, with the aim of integrating tradition and innovation and implementing an inter-generational as well as inter-territorial exchange, offering students the opportunity to take a more conscious attitude in the conception of design proposals. This takes place, in practice, through a series of intensive workshops, in the structure of 'Summer Schools'; to date, five have been held, each lasting 10 days, starting in 2021, under the supervision of Prof. A. Bocco, the DIST department and the LASTIN laboratory of the Politecnico di Torino, and in collaboration with Associazione Canova, Accademia nel Cantiere, Anab Piemonte and Green Think.

Spaghetti Bridge: The Team is responsible for the design, construction, and testing of pasta-and-glue bridges, adhering to international construction guidelines widely shared by numerous universities.
The annual "Spaghetti Bridge" competition, mainly addressed to students of the Polytechnic, but also open to students from other universities, concerns the construction of a bridge of one meter span. The winners will have the opportunity to attend international competitions if they achieve noteworthy outcomes.
The Team also hosts "MIDI Spaghetti Bridge" competitions with half-meter-span bridges as part of orientation activities with high schools, with the goal of drawing students' attention to specific aspects of civil engineering.
Additionally, the Team plans "MINI Spaghetti Bridge" activities that are targeted mostly at elementary and middle school students. Modeling clay is used in place of glue for this competition, which is already held in conjunction with the Bimbi al Poli and Salone del Libro events with considerable success.
Squadra Corse Driverless: The project involves the design, construction and testing of an autonomous driving electric competition vehicle. The vehicle will thus be able to participate in international competitions, in which it will be evaluated on the basis of its design qualities and engineering efficiency. The best known competition is the one proposed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), called Formula SAE, which can be attended by teams made up of undergraduate and master's degree students. Until 2016, the competition included only two categories: one for internal combustion vehicles and one for electric vehicles. Starting in 2017, Formula SAE introduced a third category for autonomous vehicles.
Therefore, university students will be engaged in the design and testing of a vehicle compliant with the competition regulations and capable of moving without a driver thanks to the data collected and processed, respectively, by sensors and algorithms of perception, control and planning of the trajectory. The competition is organized in a series of static tests and a series of dynamic tests conducted without any human driver.
