Engineering Intern
As an engineering Intern I was met with the challenge of working with people from different schools and met with the challenge of competing with other teams. Throughout my journey I had to make relationships with those who I was grouped with and get to know everyone there. The goal was to design a robot to complete a set of challenges autonomously and with a controller, as well as trying to maximize the payload that the robot could hold. Although I was not able to code the robot since I didn't know the language, I tried to understand the syntax for c# and tried to provide my greatest input. Through great perseverance, teamwork, and a shared commitment, our group was able to create a high performing robot that exceeded even our expectations, especially on the payload test where the arm had to pick up a certain weight with a good ratio to the weight of the robot. This experience had facilitated my technical and mechanical knowledge, allowed me to enhance my communication skills, and think critically under pressure. I couldn't ask for a better experience as it enforced my love for science and engineering.
