How has robotics affected you?

[henryBsick]

I came to Northeastern University.
I've participated in their AWESOME co-op program working for great companies like Philips Color Kinetics and Digital Lumens.
I'm also very excited to say that as of last Friday, I will be working at Design Continuum for my 3rd and final co-op position this July.

Summary:
Through the exposure Northeastern had in robotics when I was a HS student I found about their co-op program and have been working for great employers and making better connections ever since.

Thanks FIRST

Robotics has given me the confidence and knowledge I may need in coming years. I now know how to work the lathe, the mill, recently the basics of the hand punch, and many other minor manufacturing tools. I know how do use CAD and other AutoDesk software at a proficient level! Because of FIRST I have the skill and knowledge to mentor FLL and FTC kids on how to program, engineer, and produce robots!

I have to thank many people for this...

My mother for starting a FLL team at my middle school in 6th grade!

Our coach Mr. Clarke for including and trusting me, and keeping my silly self around!

And finally our Flexicell buddy Jumper for being a great mentor and teaching me many, many things about engineering and machining!
