2021 Week 1-3 POVs
During the first three weeks, programming has been working to install coding software on everyone’s laptops, update the 2020 code to the 2021 infrastructure, and research possible pathweavers. This year’s challenge caused programming to focus more on autonomous coding, but none of us had prior experience. Luckily, we were able to arrange a code review with last year’s programming lead Maddie ‘20. I’m happy to say that I was able to learn a lot about the code. Personally, I have been able to get more involved with working on the robot, from troubleshooting to helping newer members get accustomed to the software we use. I’m excited to get more hands-on experience and see what we can accomplish.
Tiffany '22
My favorite part of this week has been working with Illustrator and communicating more with my team. Our group had a few technical difficulties that were easily resolved. We also shared many of our design ideas and opinions. I have learned more about Illustrator's tools and what it's like working in the business team. I look forward to working on this year’s graphic designs.
Ruth '23
Being part of the Innovation Challenge group, my teammates and I were challenged to think outside of the box in order to come up with a new invention. This has been difficult since we live in such a technologically advanced society, where almost everything we thought of already existed or was not feasible. We spent the past few meetings brainstorming, discussing, and narrowing down our ideas to just one product that creatively and realistically fits the prompt. I’m looking forward to seeing what designs we come up with for our invention this season.
Sarah '24
2020 WEEK SIX POVS
This week, my favorite part has been being able to work on Illustrator for the Team Structure graphic. I really enjoyed it because working with Illustrator allows me to be creative. Some challenges we faced were editing the article, but we all worked together and were able to accomplish it. I learned more about what goes on in business besides design. I was able to see how we interact with sponsors and construct the business plan. I look forward to Robot Reveal Night and being able to document it!
Dora '23
Programming has had the opportunity to test many mechanisms during Week 6. For example, I deployed the code to the flywheel mechanism and was able to test it successfully. A highlight of this week was definitely the success we found with the flywheel. Sometimes there were technical errors with the code, but with a lot of patience and determination, we solved them and were able to successfully test mechanisms. This week has been overall extremely busy and I learned more about time management and efficiency. I look forward to testing more mechanisms as the robot gets closer and closer to being finished.
Ushoshi ‘22
My favorite part of this week has been the knowledge my subcommittee, climbing, has gained from our extensive time on CAD and working with mentors. We have had many obstacles and difficulties because of our limited time, but we have made an effort to create a stricter schedule for our manufacturing time, coordinating with our members so that we are able to increase our efficiency. In the near future, we are looking forward to seeing our climb mechanism progress and come together!
Ziana ‘21
2020 Week Five POVs
Throughout the build season I have learned many new things. Through the guidance of mentors and veterans, I was able to push on SourceTree, and I have even started writing cpp and .h files for the robot. My favorite part this week was testing the code of an old robot. It was a great experience to see the code work on the robot, and I am looking forward to testing our code on this year's robot.
Mahek '23
My favorite part of Week 5 was when I got to write a letter and create a photo collage to thank one of our sponsors. It felt really great showing our appreciation to them and everything they've done for our team. A challenge I faced during this week was trying to find pictures for the photo collage, which was difficult because we took more videos than pictures, so I had to go and take several new pictures. I am looking forward to finishing manufacturing buttons and perler bows!
Melia '22
This week in electronics, I worked on the driver’s camera mounts and vision camera mounts. This meant that I had to work with CAD all week, which was a challenge. However, I was able to embrace it and with the help of a fellow electronics member, the CAD for both camera mounts was completed. Throughout this week, I was able to expand my knowledge of CAD and realized the importance of flexibility in design!
Zainah '21
2020 WEEK FOUR POVS
So far my favorite part about this week was that we finally received our custom boards that the electronics components will be mounted on. We have been working on designing and CADing the boards since Week 2, so it was quite exciting for the entire committee when the boards arrived. Now that we have them, we are so much closer to reaching our goal of having a working robot by Week 5. I’m really looking forward to these next few days when the entire team will come together to help reach this goal.
Della ‘23
In the past four weeks, our team has gone from scrambling around to finalize strategies and mechanism ideas to slowly bringing them all together and actually forming a concise plan of action. I’ve spent most of this week manufacturing the chassis, and I am glad to see that much progress has been made. Viewing and participating in this process from a leadership position has been challenging, but has also been thought-provoking and has given me the opportunity to learn so much throughout Build Season.
Anjani ‘22
I have learned so much throughout Build Season! Because of the help the rest of the Business Committee, I have been able to step out of my comfort zone, and am now able to be confident in my work and my ideas of tackling certain tasks in new ways. Even though I am a veteran, I still have much more to learn—especially because I switched over from the Mechanical Committee to Business Committee this year to expand my knowledge on the team as a whole. For example, learning to use InDesign was extremely intimidating as I have never done graphic design; however, my business leads encouraged me to believe in myself, and I realized how similar it was to the CAD that the Mechanical Committee uses, which really helped me understand the program a lot better. I look forward to attending every meeting because I know I will learn something new every time!
Charlotte '21
2020 Week Three POVs
I am having an incredible experience with the Janksters. I've learned that communicating within the mechanical committee sub-groups, as well as with the whole team, is undeniably important. My favorite part of this week has been collaborating with other committees to see our prototypes work together and succeed. It was very satisfying because we all have faced many challenges with getting our mechanisms to become functional and reliable. The upperclassmen, especially in my sub-group, have taught me so much including CAD, basic construction, prototyping, tool use, and troubleshooting. I am so grateful to have them! Because build season means that I am usually spending five to six days in a row with the Janksters, being together so often has made me feel like this team is my second family, so I look forward to coming to meetings every time!
Shiori Kawaguchi Class of 2023
My favorite part about this week has been the opportunities I have had to grow with my teammates, as well as grow in my skills as a leader. With our new challenge this year, Infinite Recharge, we have had to look at different ways to mount our electronics boards to the robots. Through this, we have been able to think creatively about safely mounting and wiring our components to the robot.
Emily Gelke Class of 2021
This build season has been very similar to last year’s build season in terms of challenges with communication. The mechanical committee is still in the process of increasing communication between subgroups to aid with integration between mechanisms. As we approach week 4 of build season, integration between mechanisms will become increasingly important. However, despite the stress of build season, I enjoy working with my subgroup and interacting with students of varying grade levels.
Bella Padget Class of 2020
2020 Week Two POVs
Build season is an amazing, but challenging experience. I like how it is my own job to balance my school work and robotics, as it gives me a sense of responsibility, and I feel proud of what I’m able to accomplish when I set my mind to it. It is amazing being able to think of the Janksters as another family, and I always look forward to contributing something to our team.
Alana Choy Class of 2023
My favorite part of build season so far is designing the mascot because I have the opportunity to use my artistic abilities. There are several obstacles we come across while designing the mascot. One of them is that our design is too heavy and bulky, which causes many problems since we would have no way of easily transporting and storing the mascot. To solve this we are thinking of a similar, but more logical design that makes the mascot lightweight, flexible, and easily transportable. I look forward to planning out the details of the mascot and making other promotional items such as buttons and T-shirts.
Nancy Liu Class of 2022
This year, all the committees seem to be more organized and efficient. Electronics is working proactively on preparing our components and printing our 3D mounts, so I expect a smoother build season compared to last year. I'm working through some issues with the 3D printer so that later on, all necessary adjustments are made. I’m working closely with mentors on this issue, so I’m learning a lot about troubleshooting on 3D printing and the different materials that we print with. I am looking forward to an efficient but less stressful build season this year.
Sarah Williams Class of 2021
The Programming Committee is having quite a productive week. They are installing new software, setting up new MacBook Driver Stations, starting to write robot code, and researching new sensors they’ll be using. The Chassis Programming Team has successfully written and finished the driving code. They are now currently working on color-sensing code—as well as vision code—to detect objects on the field, while building off skills from last year. Build season is running smoothly for the programmers, with them making tremendous progress!
Maddie Waldie Class of 2020
2020 Week One POVs
During the first week of Build Season, I learned how to prototype. My favorite part of this week was learning how to use the 3D printer. It was also interesting to see how CAD is used to design the 3D printed parts. This week has been exciting because I was able to see the progress everyone from each committee has made with their projects. I look forward to learning much more throughout the rest of Build Season.
Myiesha Shaikh Class of 2023
This year's kick-off, as a sophomore and the team's rookie liaison, was a whole new experience compared to last year's, when I was a freshman. My favorite part was using my experience from freshman year to help this year's rookies have a smooth transition into build season. What helped me personally understand the new game during kick-off, was the mock match, where we set up a life-size field in the gym and pretended to be robots. I was really able to comprehend how the game worked by playing it myself. I can't wait to take on this new challenge during the rest of build season.
Layla Qumsieh Class of 2022
Week one of build season has been a learning experience for all of us. One aspect that I thoroughly enjoyed was prototyping possible mechanisms for this year's challenge, Infinite Recharge. I learned about new mechanisms, specifically a flywheel, that we could include on the robot. My favorite part was brainstorming possible designs for our t-shirt. Being in a new leadership position, I am looking forward to designing the shirt and getting to know my committee’s new members.
Ria Nair Class of 2021
FLL POVs
One of my favorite parts of FLL is interacting with the kids, even if it was for a brief moment. I had the opportunity to assist kids in driving Lola and was also in charge of concessions. Though Lola had difficulties with her elevator mechanism, I was able to troubleshoot the issue with Sara, Jade, and Risha, even if we did not end up fixing it. My favorite part was seeing the smile on a kid's face when they successfully stacked up two cubes.
Shobha Srinivasan Class of 2020
I really enjoyed helping out demo Lola at the First Lego League competition. I was able to connect more with the rookies and the veterans. I was also chosen to give a speech about continuing robotics after FLL, this was challenging because I didn't know what to say and I felt unprepared originally. I was able to learn how to quickly prepare a speech and I also learned more about Lola's elevator. I look forward to helping at this demo next year.
Faye Neighbors Class of 2022
Through helping out at the FLL competition, I learned so much about how elementary and middle schoolers learn about the basics of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) at their age and how an FLL competition works. My main role was robot inspector, which is somewhat like TSA in airports! The inspector follows a list of requirements, like asking “How many motors and sensors do you have?”, or “Is everything that you need with you right now?”, and cannot let them go onto the playing field until they have met all the requirements. I got to know a little more about how FLL teams are structured and comparing other teams’ robots. I also got to interact with other rookies and veterans and learned about their similar experiences in FLL. Overall, volunteering at the past FLL competition has given me so many insights and I am looking forward to volunteering again.
Madison Giles Class of 2023
BUILD SEASON WEEK 6 POVS
Build season is coming to an end, and the results of our time and effort spent brainstorming and designing are finally becoming seen. In the chassis subgroup, we spent most of Week 6 manufacturing and putting together the final touches for the base of the robot. This week has helped me become more efficient and precise in completing my assignments and making sure to communicate with veterans or mentors about any confusion that I may have. As a whole, this has been an extremely informative and fulfilling experience, and I'm looking forward to the tasks that await!
Anjani Gadkari Class of 2022
My favorite part of build season was programming the robot’s pistons. I enjoy learning new programming concepts and building problem-solving skills. I look forward to seeing the robot because everyone has worked really hard to build it.
Dania Hanif Class of 2020
I learned a lot this build season and improved my problem-solving and task management skills. It’s hard to juggle multiple projects at once and make sure everyone is communicating, but my friends and mentors’ help support me and each other. My favorite part of build season is when a particularly difficult problem finally gets solved! It’s very gratifying when we overcome a task that throws a new issue at us every few minutes. These past few weeks, I’ve also learned about the specifics of building a robot, such as wiring ultrasonic sound sensors to measure distances. I can’t wait for the rest of the week so we can finish the robot and be ready for competition!
Libby Barrese Class of 2020
BUILD SEASON WEEK 5 POVS
As a part of the electronics committee, I have learned about how crucial it is to communicate with other committees. Although I did have some struggles with trying to keep everyone on board, I learned how to effectively and succinctly collaborate with people outside of electronics, which is a great life skill. I enjoy working with others and that makes build season more enjoyable. Next week, I definitely look forward to seeing a finished robot!
Ameera Chughtai Class of 2022
This week in electronics, we finished both our horizontal and vertical boards. One challenge that we faced was trying to figure out how to mount our vertical board. We tested many prototypes but eventually found that using extrusion would be the best solution. Next week, I look forward to mounting all of our components onto our boards and assembling them onto the real robot.
Ahlyssa Santillana Class of 2021
I spent a lot of this week working with my teammates to debug code, though we faced many challenges along the way. For example, the program would stop running if it wasn't detecting any vision targets, and occasionally the distance the program read between the camera and the vision targets was infinity. However, with a lot of hard work and questions to our mentors, we eventually fixed these errors and had lots of fun while doing it.
Angela Zheng Class of 2020
I spent a lot of time organizing and creating gifts for our mentor Valentine’s Day party. I learned a lot about design and communication with leaders and other members of the team. My committee is also putting together our team's giveaways, bows, and buttons. Build season has been fun, and I look forward to seeing the team’s finished product.
Emily Duh Class of 2019
Build Season Week 4 POVs
I spent most of Week 4 working on a design for cable management. It was a daunting task, given my level of experience, but working on cable management allowed me to expand both my soft skills and my technical knowledge. Throughout the week I was able to (along with the help of many veterans) figure out the configuration of cable management and find possible mounting areas. Next week, I intend to work on making mounts for the wire track as well as solidifying the specifics on cable management.
Connie Vu Class of 2022
One of the challenges I faced this week was getting the article for the team website to be just right. We needed a lot of detailed information in the article, so we had to look for various people to write down their thoughts. I also struggled with the wording of the article, so it took a while to make revisions and edits. I learned to be assertive in scoping out and asking people for their statements, as well as being patient in writing. My favorite part of the week was working on the mentor gifts. Cutting out and building the boxes was fun and the product was cute. I look forward to making more progress on this project and planning for giveaways and articles.
Cynthia Chung Class or 2019
I learned a lot in this week of build season. I liked working with my peers and having the ability to learn from those I work with. I also learned about calculating for electronics and the amount of air tanks needed for the amount of pistons on the robot. The math was challenging, but working on something new was a lot of fun.
Emily Gelke Class of 2021
2019 LEAD POVs
My favorite part of doing the LEAD workshop was being able to interact with seventh-grade girls and talk to them about the robot. It was really nice to see young girls so interested and engaged in learning more about robotics. I learned that showing the girls our robots was a great way to get them engaged in STEM. I hope that the message of being inspired and having a willingness to learn about new things sticks with the students.
Cailin Le Class of 2021
I am so glad that I was able to participate in LEAD for the first time this year! During LEAD, I guided the 7th graders around our robotics rooms and introduced them to each committee. All of the girls were extremely kind and curious about robotics. I was happy to help them by answering any questions they had about our team. Overall, I am glad that I participated in LEAD and helped the girls learn more about our robotics team, the Janksters!
Ananya Thapar Class of 2021
For the third year in a row, I presented at LEAD Day and provided 7th grade girls with an introduction to our robotics team. I was also responsible for teaching the girls how to drive our 2018 robot, Lola, giving them each a turn to operate her. My favorite part was seeing the initial fright of driving a 160-pound robot melt away and turn to pure excitement. Intrigued by our robot's design and the team's structure, the girls had a number of great questions, which I had the opportunity to answer. Overall, participating in LEAD Day allowed me to grow my presentation and demonstration skills and serve as a role model to girls interested in STEM, while also having fun!
Maddie Waldie Class of 2020
Build Season Week 3 POVs
Week 3 build season was challenging yet productive. We made tremendous progress in designing our mechanism and we are working on finishing our CAD. When designing our mechanism, we ran into multiple spacing issues that took a lot of thought and collaboration to solve. Personally, I learned about how pistons work and how we can mount them to our mechanism to deploy the hatch panel. Since I have never worked with pistons before, it was a great learning experience. I look forward to finishing up the CAD next week and hopefully beginning manufacturing.
Ella Hedman Class of 2021
It was amazing to see all of the graphic design elements for the shirt and button be completed, and we made great progress on our giveaways. I learned a lot about communicating with other committee members, mentors, and sponsors in order to efficiently finish projects. Additionally, we were able to maintain a collaborative and supportive environment where all committee members' voices were heard.
Elizabeth Fernandes Class of 2020
Build season week 3 was a very informative week. We spoke with other mechanical subgroups and made a list of how many sensors, pneumatics, and motors they need. I also learned to calculate the number of air tanks we needed on our robot, which was interesting and useful to know.
Angeline Tran Class of 2022
Build Season Week 2 POV
The second week of robotics was very fulfilling, and I enjoyed growing my programming knowledge. I spent a lot of time learning how to create classes and how to use pointers in C++. With the help of the programming leads, I had the opportunity to apply my newly acquired skills in a fun and supportive environment.
Ridhima Prashanth Class of '22
My favorite part of this week was when my subgroup came up with a solid design for our mechanism. At first, we had a few ideas that all could have potentially worked, but had trouble figuring out which one would be the most consistent. We identified the pros and cons of each mechanism. I learned a lot about robotics and the different aspects that go into deciding what can and can’t work for the robot. This week, we also started on our prototyping and will test to see if it works. Next week, I look forward to finalizing our prototype and starting on the final mechanism.
Sophia Contos Class of '22
Throughout the second week of build season, my subcommittee and I have been working hard to brainstorm creative ideas and develop them through prototyping. We are working on intaking and outputting cargo, and, through the process of addressing this challenge, I have learned how to communicate more effectively with my teammates and mentors. I have also learned a lot about robot research, drawing inspiration from robots used in past challenges to introduce promising ideas to our team brainstorms. Next week, I am looking forward to mechanizing our complex prototype, which will help my subcommittee and the rest of the team soon decide how to proceed with the spacing of the different components on our robot.
Leela Mukherjee Class of '21
We have been preparing various electronic components and training our rookies in CAD. We also started to work on possible improvements for the battery cart and driver station, in anticipation of competition. I learned about a new method for crimping CAN wires, which was challenging at first, but I eventually understood how to do it properly with the help of mentors. Electronics will now be using that method to crimp CAN wires, and possibly other types of wires, too.
Srija Ponna Class of '20
Build Season Week 1 POV
My first kick-off was one to remember! My favorite activity was the mock match, where some of the students had to pretend to be the robots on the field and some were human players giving the cargo and hatches to the “robots.” One of the challenges I had with the game, since I was a “robot,” was acting out realistic things the robot would do, and also taking into account the game rules. I asked mentors when I didn't understand a game rule and they clarified what I could and couldn't do during the match. My strategy for acting like an actual robot was to imagine that a person was telling me directions one by one.
Jade Lara ‘22
One of my favorite parts of kick-off this year was when we started brainstorming and prototyping for the robot. I enjoy thinking of possible things the robot can do and knowing what we work on now may be used for the actual robot. One of the challenges I faced was the mock game in general because I was very confused with the game and how the scoring works and I wasn't sure what to do. In the first mock match, I played the human player and was able to watch what the other “robots” did so I could understand the game better. I also learned how to prototype larger ideas and turn something that was a thought in your head into reality.
Mia Levy ‘21
During kick-off this year, I was facilitating different stations such as robot idea brainstorming and mock competitions, and helping out groups whenever and wherever necessary. It was a bit challenging to offer useful advice and suggestions for the countless brainstorming ideas, and wander around to help groups. However, the autonomy I had allowed me to learn to guide my teammates through prototyping and design thinking, as well as grow my leadership skills.
Mehal Sharma ‘19
First Lego League POVs
I love volunteering for the First Lego League competitions because it's inspiring to see the kids working together to find technology based solutions for fun puzzles. These puzzles are then linked to real world problems for the students to learn about. Seeing them get excited and compete with each other, I am reminded about how I did the same thing when I was in elementary school, and how the creative solutions we came up with made me more knowledgeable about issues in the world around me. We get to talk to the kids and answer their questions about what it's like to continue down the robotics path. Helping out with running the event makes things easier and more fun for everyone involved!
Libby Barrese Class of 2020
Having the opportunity to help out with FLL was an amazing experience. This is my second year doing it and every year it's always enjoyable to see young students get really involved and excited in robotics. While I didn't interact with the teams much, many of the younger siblings of the members of the teams came up to me and asked questions about Lola or robotics in general. It was so fulfilling to see that many of the kids were inspired by Lola and what the team was able to accomplish in just six weeks.
Ria Nair Class of 2021
Intuitive Surgical Open House POVs
On September 29, I went to the Intuitive Surgical Open House. There were 3 parts, the first was a panel discussion with 3 of the engineers that work with them, the second was a demo on how to use the robot, and third was making a Rube Goldberg project. The part I enjoyed most was the demo, I got to control the da Vinci robot. The da Vinci robot is suppose to help surgeons do better and more precise surgery while causing the patient less pain. The surgeon sits in a machine on one side of the room and using the robot can do surgery on the patient.
Faye Neighbors Class of 2022
Intuitive Surgical Open house was an amazing experience for me to see how the skills we learn through Robotics are so extremely useful, and can be applied to the real world. It inspired me to put in even more effort to make sure I maximize the skills I learn these four years. I know now that my time is being given to something that will truly help in the grow as a person, and it is so comforting knowing that I am not alone in this journey with my fellow Janksters.
Ameera Chughtai Class of 2022
Bootcamp POVs
I enjoyed every single workshop I attended, but I especially enjoyed Arduino. Although I am proficient in Python, Arduino is coded in C/C++, and I liked being able to compare and contrast the two languages. Over these four days of bootcamp, I discovered that the Janksters face many challenges throughout the build season, similar to the ones I faced while competing in First Lego League. The aspect I struggled most with in Bootcamp is being able to identify which solutions of the many solutions available will be most efficient. Overall, I learned so much from the Janksters, Ms. Carrillo, Mr. Mulla, and even my fellow campers, and I am excited for the year of First Robotics Competition ahead with the Janksters.
As one of the Bootcamp Directors, I enjoyed seeing how well everything came together and how the campers made new bonds and friendships with not only each other but with the Janksters too. Though Bootcamp ran pretty smoothly, there were a few challenges. One of them is that the majority of the Janksters helping out were Sophomores who didn't have as much teaching experience as the upperclassman, but with guidance from the mentors, Juniors, and Seniors that were there, I am proud that we Sophomores have blossomed into more responsible and knowledgeable leaders. For me personally, I had to do jobs that I considered menial and unpleasant, instead of the more fun jobs. Although, by doing them, I learned that grunt work was especially crucial to the success of Bootcamp, and even though it's hard, you just have to keep a positive attitude and put your 100% into everything that you do. I also realized that there's more to hosting an event that meets the eye, that leadership requires a lot of hard work, and that you don't need a title to be a leader.
This was my third year at Boot Camp and my second year teaching workshops for it. This year, I led the Arduino workshop and the driving workshop. In the Arduino workshop, we taught the campers how to wire and code Arduinos to perform certain tasks, such as lighting up LEDs. In the driving workshop, we set up three of our robots (Chris, Kyle, and Lola) and taught the campers about them and how to drive them. My favorite part about Boot Camp was teaching the incoming freshmen in those workshops since it let me get to know them better and it gave me experience leading workshops.
Robot Reveal Night POVs
Robot Reveal Night was a chance to see everyone’s hard work come together. My parents and friends had finally gotten to see what I had been working on, and see how well everything turned out. I got to answer questions about my Committee and clarify any misunderstandings.
Ria Nair Class of 2021
This was my first Robot Reveal Night and I think that it was amazing. The speeches weren't like those typical, boring speeches they give at events; they were funny and attention-grabbing! Also, everyone did a good job in explaining the robot. I also liked the food!
Dania Hanif Class of 2020
Robot Reveal Night has always been incredibly eyeopening! From the speeches given by members of our own team about the six week process of building a robot, to the final reveal of a functioning and driving robot, this night is the one of the biggest events for the team. I loved the way that our parents, teachers and classmates came to support us and witness all of our hard-work paying off in the form of our extremely tall robot this year. In my opinion, this night is always a motivational boost in order to get through the last 3 days of the build season!
Zenaz Sarkari Class of 2019
RRN was a great way for us to show off the countless hours of work we put into the robot, and to teach our friends and family about what we did. It was also the first time I saw the robot move, which was pretty exciting. Since this is my last build season, it was just really amazing to see everything come together at the end.
Nikita Jagdish Class of 2018
Week 6 Build POVS
It's Week 6 and the Janksters are in the final stretch of Build Season! Read more to see how they're doing.
This past week, I was able to learn a lot more about the Jetson and all of the systems that are working in it. I also improved my teamwork skills with the two other members of my subcommittee. I was also able to exercise my knowledge of trigonometry and C++ while figuring out how to improve our vision code.
Yiyun Wei Class of 2021
During Week 6, business was busy planning upcoming events, finishing up awards and updating the website. I have gained several important skills throughout the build season, including responsibility, leadership, and communication, and it was exhilarating to see all of our hard work pay off. Even though we faced many challenges along the way, we had the invaluable experience of learning from ourselves and others, which made it all worth it in the end.
Elizabeth Fernandes Class of 2020
The past week started off pretty chill. For me at least, it was mostly prepping for the arrival of the electronics boards, such as gathering parts and planning, and helping some other committees here and there. But now that the electronics boards have arrived (at least the vertical ones), we have a lot of more work to do. The pace has picked up, and now we are in more of a hurry to put components on the boards.
Cynthia Chung Class of 2019
