Only engineering class I've ever taken and will take at Wellesley: EXTD 120
There are two main reasons why I decided to take EXTD 120. First, I'm graduating in December and still haven't finished up my math/science distribution requirement. Engineering seems like a favorable option over chem or bio. Second, in high school I was a member of the robotics team, competing in FTC, VEX, FIRST Robotics, and mentoring a middle school team in FIRST LEGO League. I bounced around roles frequently, from programmer to designer to publicity chair to driver. Every job required, to some degree, creative engineering. I enjoyed the practical application of blueprint plans, whether it was building the robot, inevitably fixing the robot, presenting our team in the most favorable light possible to the judges, or creating a game plan for the matches.
My goal for this year is to create something magnificent that has the potential to change the world. I plan to reach this goal by learning how to use the tools that are available to me and by researching the current and future additions to global improvement.
Glad to have you in the class. I'd love to hear more about your robotics experiences!
