Mixarcid: /* Joining SSI Bio */

[[Category:Biology]]
The Biology team is SSI's fourth project team, focusing on the intersection between the life sciences and space. The Biology team began work on its pilot project, building a portable, autonomous DNA Synthesizer to send to space, in the 2016-2017 academic year. The Biology team works in the Shriram Center for Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering, using the Uytengsu Teaching Lab space. It is currently developing enzymatic DNA synthesis methods and an electrowetting fluid handling platform for this project, which they aim to launch as a cubesat payload or operate on the International Space Station. The Biology team is also open to other project ideas, particularly relating to astronaut life support, biomaterials for space use, and terraforming for space colonization.

The Biology team's faculty advisor is Prof. Drew Endy, and current team co-leads are Michael Uttmark and Michael Arcidiacono.

Operations Team

2017-09-20T15:13:23Z

Mixarcid: /* Website */

Operations is the place in SSI to learn professional skills and connect to the wider aerospace community. The skills you’ll learn are so diverse -- from graphic design to how to get a sponsorship -- that they’re near impossible to summarize. Space is so much more than just the technology, and Operations where it all happens. If you want to know how to manage a group of 200 members with a six figure budget, make space art to decorate our workspace, or get connected to the top of the space industry, Operations is the place for you.

Space would hardly be possible without the people behind the hardware, getting sponsorships, building community, and talking to CEOs and Venture Capitalists across the industry. We’ve brought in speakers like Charlie Bolden, the then-administrator of NASA, and this year will be hosting Gwynne Shotwell, the President of SpaceX. We have a half dozen different efforts that form the backbone of SSI. The current team lead is Kai Marshland {{slack-user|kai}} -- feel free to reach out if you want to get involved!

Operations is split into a number of subgroups

= Events =
Operations brings space to Stanford and sends its members out into the world. The entire Operations team started with Events and we’re only getting better. In the fall, we’re bringing in two NASA astronauts, one of whom was the Chief Scientist for all of NASA, and Gwynne Shotwell, the President of SpaceX; later in the year, we’ll be working with Ubiquity and Bessemer Ventures to run a panel with more CEOs followed by a networking event. Throughout the year, we host talks & tours at Stanford while sending our members beyond.

= Marketing =
Marketing is where you can learn graphic design in order to make lovely materials like Approaching SSI, or reach out to magazines like Wired, Techcrunch, and the Stanford Daily in order to showcase our projects to the world. Oh, and if you want to manage our social media (aka make dank memes) this is the place to be. You have Marketing to thank for all of our gorgeous materials, posters, and swag.

= Website =
Our Website group manages both the beautiful main website and the internal site, which in addition to looking gorgeous brims with tools like the reimbursement system and resume book. Through a full, feature-rich system (if you want to make enterprise software, this is a great way to get started) the Website makes managing SSI a dream.
If you want to get involved, let Michael {{slack-user|mixarcid}} know.

= Diversity =
We want space to be the most welcoming community possible, and that starts with SSI. Diversity are the ones who run workshops and talks, connect with engineering diversity organizations, and work to make SSI a space for everyone.

= Outreach =
Outreach efforts focus on bringing our stories to local schools and even the Maker Faire. Outreach launches SSI straight out of the Stanford bubble and into the real world.

= Finance =
Finance should really be called the wolves of wall-ssi, because they focus on managing the six-figure budget, handling reimbursements, and interfacing with Stanford administrators.

= Workspace =
Workspace manages the 60-foot-tall underground bunker we call home. That means running a machine shop, planting herbs, and painting space-themed murals across our cavernous space.

= Community =
At the core of any team is the people, and with Community you’ll help welcome and foster connections between people from all walks of life. By organizing events like special dinners, watergun fights, and spring retreat, you will help make SSI more than just a group of talented engineers, but rather (in the words of one of our members) “the best family one could ask for.”

= Sponsors =
Sponsorships leverages the alumni network and SSI’s own contacts in order to keep SSI funded. Extorting aerospace executives makes SSI's projects possible.

= Alumni =
Here in the valley, you're an ancient, creaking Methuselah by the time you reach 22. Unless, of course, you're part of the SSI alumni network, which is run by the group of the same name. Alumni keeps this running, organizing events for aged 20-somethings to rest their aching bones.

This year we're starting an official program for our beloved elderly. If you've got ideas or want to help build up this awesome network, poke Rebecca {{slack-user|rebeccawong}}

Oh, and if you want to manage our social media (aka make dank memes) this is the place to be. You have Marketing to thank for all of our gorgeous materials, posters, and swag.

= Website =
Our Website group manages both the beautiful main website and the internal site, which in addition to looking gorgeous brims with tools like the reimbursement system and resume book. Through a full, feature-rich system (if you want to make enterprise software, this is a great way to get started) the Website makes managing SSI a dream.
If you want to get involved, let Michael {{slack-user|rebeccawong}} know.

= Diversity =
We want space to be the most welcoming community possible, and that starts with SSI. Diversity are the ones who run workshops and talks, connect with engineering diversity organizations, and work to make SSI a space for everyone.

= Outreach =
Outreach efforts focus on bringing our stories to local schools and even the Maker Faire. Outreach launches SSI straight out of the Stanford bubble and into the real world.

= Finance =
Finance should really be called the wolves of wall-ssi, because they focus on managing the six-figure budget, handling reimbursements, and interfacing with Stanford administrators.

= Workspace =
Workspace manages the 60-foot-tall underground bunker we call home. That means running a machine shop, planting herbs, and painting space-themed murals across our cavernous space.

= Community =
At the core of any team is the people, and with Community you’ll help welcome and foster connections between people from all walks of life. By organizing events like special dinners, watergun fights, and spring retreat, you will help make SSI more than just a group of talented engineers, but rather (in the words of one of our members) “the best family one could ask for.”

= Sponsors =
Sponsorships leverages the alumni network and SSI’s own contacts in order to keep SSI funded. Extorting aerospace executives makes SSI's projects possible.

= Alumni =
Here in the valley, you're an ancient, creaking Methuselah by the time you reach 22. Unless, of course, you're part of the SSI alumni network, which is run by the group of the same name. Alumni keeps this running, organizing events for aged 20-somethings to rest their aching bones.

This year we're starting an official program for our beloved elderly. If you've got ideas or want to help build up this awesome network, poke Rebecca {{slack-user|rebeccawong}}
