These are the bios of all our team members! They are about us, because it was written, by us.

Acacia Jensen

Hi my name is Acacia, the reason I decided to help with the drone project was because last year I took an AP computer science class and loved it. This year I took another computer science class and this year we are doing intro to java and I like it so far. The crazy part about this class is that I'm a person that you wouldn’t see in this class or think that it is too hard for me. So I wanna be a person that encourages people just like me. I wanna encourage people to step out of their comfort zone. So for instance my brother and I are adopted. My biological parents have a really bad addiction problem. It has always been hard for us because we moved around a lot. When I came here last year I wanted to change. I wanted to try something new. In the beginning, after two weeks, I didn't want to stay in the class. Then I remembered that my mom wanted me to make a change and that's what I am doing so if you do have a hard time or something bad has happened to you it doesn’t hurt to change or try something new so take it from me I have had a hard time this year to it good to push yourself and try new things that you never thought you would be doing. And today I am doing things that I would never in the whole world see myself doing.

Aiden Unseth

My name is Aiden Richard Unseth, and I am 15 years old, and am in 10th grade (sophomore). I have a little brother who is in 6th grade. My dad is a food scientist at Organic Valley, specializing in cheese and butter. My mom is a waitress who works at Kickapoo Corners in Readstown WI. I have three pets; An old dog named Rocky, A one year old puppy named Lena, and a cat named Sox. I love to play video games, watch YouTube, and listen to music. The song "Never Gonna Give You Up" is my favorite. My favorite game of all time is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

I do very well in school, I talk to my friends at school, I am in our school play this year, and at home I watch YouTube, play video games by myself or with family, and talk on Discord with my friends. I love robots, drones, and even some weird invention that didn’t need to be invented, but it’s cool to watch. Every once in a while I’ll watch a video about an AI beating an old school game (Snake, Tetris, Pac-Man). I also really like RPG’s, (role playing games).



Belen Tinoco-Cantu

My name is Belen, I'm 15 years old . My birthday is December 18. I share it with my aunt, and my moms is a day after mine. I have one younger brother. I can speak two fluent languages. I am a freshman in Highschool. I moved to Wisconsin when I was 3 with my mom. I have one cat name sun. I've had her for 7 years. My favorite food are the tamales that my mom makes. My longest friendship has been 10 years and still going. I have been in robotics since 6th grade. I joined this club so I can experience more things in that subject .

Blake Zirk

My name is Blake Zirk and I am 15 years old. My birthday is next year on May 24th. I have 2 older brothers, and one of them died at birth. I have had 3 dogs in total. Back in 2020 I had 2 dogs named Cooper and Ace. And now in 2021 we have 2 dogs named Bailey and Cooper. To share a little bit about my life and the reasoning behind why I joined this club. Back in middle school a few of my friends were trying to convince me to join this Robotics club at our school. The advisor in that club was also trying to convince me to join it. I joined a little bit later into the year and had to figure out how to program robots in the little time I had before the big competition in December. Time rolled around and it was already December, and it just seemed like I was buried in programs all around and was figuring out the ropes and how robotics worked. I enjoyed it a lot and wanted to do it next year. Well, then Coronavirus rolled around and robotics was cancelled. When the advisor of the now so-called team Aerospace asked a few of my friends and I if we were interested in this kind of club, I was dying to say yes. I really wanted to get back into the action of programming and using robots to complete missions.

Rivyn DiPadova

My name is Rivyn, I was born in Milwaukee and grew up there until I was 8, which is when I moved out to southwest Wisconsin. I don't have any pets, but my favorite animal is a giraffe.

Sarah Bransky

My name is Sarah Bransky and I am 15 years old. I divide my time between theater, cross country, basketball, band, chorus, track and field, and 4-H. I love art and architecture and fit it into my day at any chance I get, may it be doodling on my homework to painting the set at our school’s theater. I have two siblings, both older than me and they have inspired me to pursue STEM opportunities. My sister is going to college for engineering and my brother graduated with a geology degree so I love learning about what they do and all that they have learned in their years of experience. I did one year of lego robotics in middle school but that is the extent of my knowledge in technology like this and I’m really excited to work on this drone project. I love working and hanging out with the drone team and am super excited to learn about the Artemis mission and so much more about what it takes to complete a challenge like this.

Tay'Vion Burch

My name is Tay’Vion Burch. I love basketball and other sports. I have three siblings and I just moved back to Wisconsin from North Dakota. I play Xbox and like Anime. I decided to join this drone club so I could learn more about robotics. I play basketball, football, and track.
