One of the first things you might notice on my website is my profile picture. What am I wearing? Oh, its just my FIRST Robotics Competition Team shirt. Actually that's an understatement. That shirts means a lot more to me than that. You see, coming into high school, I didn't have any concept of what "STEM" was or what robotics even was. I joined with the idea that I could build some "stuff" and screw around. As our season progressed our freshman year I still wasn't very interested until the first robotics challenge was released in January. At that moment I became hooked, because instead of an engineering challenge, robotics seemed to take the shape of a sport. As a freshman I became one of our lead strategists because of how many parallels I could draw between robotics and other sports, and in order to make sure we can execute on our goals I joined the design team with the idea that I could help decide the direction of how our robot would function. Working with about 20 other students, I used CAD software to make rudimentary parts and designed our main scoring mechanism. That year we went on to the world championship placing in the top 20 in our division.

Since then I have taken on a lot. I quickly realized the importance of STEM in our future, and in order to ensure students are being exposed to STEM earlier than I was, I started 1 elementary level robotics team, 2 middle school level teams, and I coached another preexisting team alongside these ones. These kids will shape up into our future engineers, scientists, and doctors.

There is a ton more that I can talk about robotics, but here is a shortened version of my profile alongside my Youtube channel that contains tutorials for some of the things I have worked on.
