HHS Robotics—Team 5000 (2014-present)
FIRST robotics completely opened my eyes to STEM and its crucial part in our society. I went from wanting to study history to wanting to focus on robotics and electrical engineering in college. Since joining the team I have learned so much about the importance of teamwork and how much effort goes into assembling a robot. The experience has given me valuable insight into what it might be like to work on similar projects in a professional work environment.
