HydroContest by ENSM is a wonderful adventure that I would recommend to everyone. This kind of challenge encourages you to think about many different aspects of a vessel. There’s something for everyone, whether you want to innovate, work on 3D design, perform calculations, study economics, weld, or laminate, you’ll find your place and have the chance to develop your skills.
For me personally, this experience allowed me to discover materials that we rarely work with at ENSM but which are widely used in the maritime field. It also helped me strengthen my design abilities and my understanding of fluid-structure interaction. The team spirit that surrounds this project creates lasting bonds that will stay with you throughout your life.
