About

We are a registered student organization with the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Our organizations goal is to design, build and test a pod to compete in the SpaceX student hyperloop competition.

Made up of a majority of undergraduate students, we put our efforts forth to this organization to better ourselves as well as to contribute to the development of a future mode of transportation we believe in.

All of our efforts are made possible by our generous donors, who we cannot thank enough.

Our Sponsors

Badgerloop relies on partnerships with generous sponsors to help meet the financial and material costs of building hyperloop pods.

We would love to partner with you for Competition IV!
