As a candidate for Teaching Officer, I am dedicated to enriching our community’s educational experience by blending theory with practical, hands-on learning. I believe that effective teaching should inspire curiosity and empower members to explore robotics with confidence. Here are the things I will work on:
Innovative Workshops:
I plan to design and host interactive sessions that explain robotics concepts in a way that most people can understand easily. These workshops will not only cover theoretical foundations but also incorporate real-world applications through practical exercises and live demonstrations. The goal is to spark creativity and encourage members to experiment and innovate.
Peer Learning and Mentorship:
Establishing a structured peer mentoring program is a priority. By pairing experienced members with newcomers, we can create a supportive network that facilitates knowledge-sharing, collaborative problem-solving, and continuous learning. This program will be designed to ensure that everyone, regardless of their skill level, feels valued and equipped to contribute meaningfully.
I have always been passionate about robotics, electronics, and mentoring. As the sole electronics specialist in my high school’s 30-member robotics team, I designed and built electrical systems for four industrial-grade robots, winning over 10 awards in FRC and competing in world championships twice. I also led an autonomous robotics team, developing a quadcopter and an autonomous land vehicle that won first place at TEKNOFEST in smart transportation.
Beyond competitions, I gained hands-on industry experience through internships, assembling high-power ultrasonic circuits and working with experienced engineers. These experiences strengthened my problem-solving abilities and practical approach to teaching complex concepts. Additionally, I have expertise in PCB design, battery management, and system integration.
Even after graduating, I continue mentoring students from my high school’s robotics team and have supported other FRC teams in electronics and overall robot design. As Teaching Officer, I aim to organize workshops and hands-on training in robotics, electronics, and autonomous systems. My leadership and mentoring experience have taught me how to guide teams effectively and help students develop both technical and teamwork skills. Robotics is about innovation, and I want to help students gain the confidence and knowledge to turn ideas into reality.
I am excited to contribute to the Robotics Society in a leadership role, leveraging my experience in robotics, teaching, and industry engagement to drive impactful initiatives. Having led a team of A-level students to design and build an Arduino-based robot to navigate an obstacle course for a competition, I developed strong leadership, problem-solving, and hands-on technical skills essential for managing projects and guiding teams.
Beyond building robots, I have a passion for teaching. My experience mentoring underprivileged children using LEGO Mindstorms strengthened my ability to break down complex concepts, making robotics accessible and engaging. I am eager to apply these skills by organizing workshops and structured learning opportunities that enhance both technical and interpersonal skills within the society.
Additionally, my leadership experience in the Energy Society equipped me with networking and sponsorship acquisition skills, allowing me to liaise effectively with industry professionals and secure funding. My time on the UCL Racing team further developed my ability to work under pressure, communicate effectively, and adapt quickly to challenges—skills crucial for managing robotics projects and competitions.
In any role, I will work to enhance learning, strengthen industry links, and foster a collaborative environment where members can develop their skills and push the boundaries of robotics. I look forward to building a stronger, more impactful Robotics Society.
