I led a team of 140 interdisciplinary college students to build an F1 style race car. We simultaneously built the first car to drive autonomously at a US competition. In winning 2nd place out of 69 global teams, and becoming the top-placed team in the US, my most valuable learning how to lead a team of volunteers.
