I would definitely call myself a tech and science nerd. I am in robotics and I am currently taking two sciences; so I definitely qualify for my geek card. Something that has always intrigued me is the future of technology and science, and one of the most interesting possibilities of technology would being able to augment myself and /or others. Robotics is something that’s always been intriguing to me, and of course anyone in robotics have always thought about the implications of augmenting the…

Do you like to create things? I do. I think humans have a natural desire to create. Everyone has an outlet to bring the ideas in their head into the world. The only thing that stands in our way is finding the right outlet. My outlet for creation is computer programming. When I discovered what was possible through programming, I knew it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. As a kid I would take apart my toys to learn how they work. Once I understood the inner workings, I would take…

it, but abruptly it happened. An epiphany! For no foreseeable reason, I wanted to be a mechanical engineer. What an engineer did was beyond me, especially a mechanical one, but I trusted my gut instinct and when an opportunity arose to visit an engineering program here at CTE, I did not hesitate. When I came and visited for Step Up day, there wasn’t a thought of hesitation to come here or not; I knew it was for…
