▪︎ Helped low funded FIRST robotics teams to participate in the FIRST Robotics competition (FRC).▪︎ Taught students Solidworks and ProEngineer to model robots prior to prototyping. Taught students how to use sensors and low voltage devices as well as programing in LabView and C to take advantage of these devices. ▪︎ Guided the team towards both innovative and creative solutions for each year’s challenge so they could participate using their limited funding and resources. As a lead mentor, I helped fellow mentors and learned team management skills; tackled unexpected challenges the team and fellow mentors faced.
