In high school, my father started to get into brewing beer and needed to get/make equipment for his set up. One of the first things we got was a fridge with a broken climate controller. Since I had a little bit of coding experience I decided to take on the challenge.

After many models and configurations, I had made a working drone from a 6 axis IMU, radio receiver and an Arduino Uno. I didn't code the flight PID system, this project was for design practice and attempts to understand what the code was doing. I eventually switch to a racing drone style flight controller (mainly for experimenting with more main stream methods of flight control).

This was the first designing project I've worked on in high school. The idea behind this arm was to help patients recover from double elbow replacement surgery. Like the early stages of my temperature controller, this project was ahead of my skill set, at the time, in CAD design, understanding of dynamics, material science and electronics.
I was fortunate enough to have a shop class in high school with a Haas Mini Mill and a wood CNC mill. We learned how to CAD model and use the CAM operations in fusion. We designed guitar (I chose an ax style set up) and created tool paths for our wood CNC machine. We were taught how to properly sand, stain, and apply a finishing coat on guitar. we also mounted the pick-ups and wired the electronics.
