Robotics Workshop, West Lafayette Jr./Sr. High School, Indiana*
November 2023
Organized a hands-on five-day workshop to inspire a ~25-student Computer Science class by introducing them to robot programming using the Robot Operating System (ROS 2).
Designed the curriculum, led workshop sessions on ROS 2 fundamentals, and created a mini-project for the students to apply their learnings to a real-world delivery robot scenario.
Hosted the class at the SMART Lab for an interactive tour featuring poster presentations and an engaging Q&A session to get the students excited about university-level research.

Co-Founder, Basis Independent Silicon Valley High School Arduino Club
January 2020 - May 2022
Co-founded my high school's first Arduino Club to introduce students from 5th - 12th grade to microcontrollers through the Arduino platform.
Created a four month-long curriculum from scratch and hosted weekly meetings covering topics including ultrasonic sensors, LCDs, and temperature and humidity modules.
Hosted a demo day for students to present their independent projects (e.g., interactive games, puzzles, star-tracking telescope)
