"Before joining the robotics team, I didn't really have a set idea of what I wanted to do once I got to college. I had a general idea of becoming an engineering major, but there are many different majors within the field of engineering and I had no idea of where to begin. After joining the BHS robotics team and experiencing the different aspects of building a successful robot, I had a much better understanding of what I wanted to do. Our team was split amongst mechanical, electrical, and programming. After having a taste of each, I decided to pursue electrical engineering as my major for college because that specific area of the robotics process was very appealing to me.”

“What I most appreciated about robotics was its hands-on approach and the outside learning of skills it provided. It is definitely much easier to understand the theory of physics when applying it to a set material when building a robot. For anyone who is interested in engineering in college, robotics provides a head start opportunity in the process and teamwork of design. Plus who else is soldering circuits in high school?”
