Starting in 2018, I participated in the FIRST Robotics Competition (an international endeavor where high students compete against each other with robots designed for specific tasks). I was on team 4334, the Alberta Tech Alliance, and participated as a mechanical team member and public outreach member. Here I expanded my passion for mechatronics and mechanical design.

Being on the mechanical team, I was assisting in designing the mechanics and frame of the robot in Solidworks, R&D potential designs, and assembling the robot in real life using power tools and other fabrication processes (CNC and lasercutting).
