Team B10s
Joseph
In middle school, Joseph was a part of the STEM group where he participated in engineering-related activities including competitions in egg-drops, "useless-machines" and the coding of virtual arcade games. Since joining the NAF Academy of Engineering at Mooresville High School in 2019, he has participated in STEM-related activities such as creating mockups of "earthquake-resistant buildings" out of everyday items and building functional cardboard arcade games. He decided to join the NAF CubeSat team because he wanted to maintain his involvement in STEM-related activities as well as having a way to monitor the environment in the community in which he lives. CubeSat was a great fit for both of these interests. Now a sophomore, he has maintained his spot on the honor roll and participated in honors-level classes. In his free time, he enjoys visiting friends and family as well as playing with his dog, Toby. After graduating from Mooresville High, he plans to attend a four-year college and pursue a STEM-related career path.
Kamryn
Kamryn joined the Mooresville High School NAF Academy of Engineering during her freshman year. Before joining, she was involved in several STEM activities that led her to become an alumni of the academy. Since the beginning of her NAF career, she has competed in projects such as the building of functional cardboard arcade games and has gone on educational trips to places such as the iFLY indoor skydiving experience. When she discovered that MHS would be participating in the CubeSat 2020/2021 project, she was immediately interested due to her love of engineering, which initially lead her to join the team. Outside of the NAF Academy, she is involved in the Mooresville Blue Diamonds, the color guard team for her school.

Drina
Drina is a sophomore at Mooresville High School and she is also a part of the NAF Academy of Engineering and the school's CubeSat team. Her interests in engineering, robotics, and artificial intelligence is what attracted her to the CubeSat team. Prior to enrolling at Mooresville High School, Drina was a part of the Future City and Science Olympiad team for 3 years at Langtree Charter. She competed at the state and national level. Drina runs cross country and track, and after high school plans to pursue a bachelor's and master's in Biomedical Engineering.
Jonas
Jonas is seventeen years old and is a senior at Mooresville High School. He decided to join the CubeSat team in order to help operate the 3D printers in the classroom for testing prototypes. His experience with using different CAD systems and slicers has helped the project move smoothly and efficiently. He also helps with the other fields in the CubeSat project as an extra set of hands when needed. Jonas plans to attend Brigham Young University after high school and major in Mechanical Engineering.
JonVincent
In his freshman year at Mooresville High School, JonVincent joined the NAF Academy of Engineering in hopes of exploring his interests in software. Though he prefers to work alone most of the time, he joined CubeSat to follow STEM interests while working with a team. In his free time he makes 2D animation, 3D standalone games, and plays tennis. In the near future he aspires to attend college and pursue a degree that will help him with a career as a software programmer.
