The Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS) club at UNLV built Nevada's first ever student-created liquid rocket engine. The SPARK I rocket is made of 3D printed resin, and successfully completed a hot fire test at the Jean Dry Lake Bed. Originally established in 2019 as a science- and engineering-based student club to foster interest in space exploration, SEDS has become a place for students to build relationships with their peers, gain valuable aerospace experience, and bolster their resumes with groundbreaking achievements.
