Hi, my name is Mason.
Grade: Senior Hello, I am Mason! I am a current Senior at St. Charles East High. This is my third year in FTC and second as team captain. This past season, I have been accepted to multiple colleges for mechanical engineering as a capstone from the years of PLTW classes in middle & high school that I taken. It's been a pleasure helping my team in mechanical and electrical design, and hopefully I will be back next season to mentor. Outside of robotics, I have recently earned the highest rank in Boy Scouts--Eagle Scout. It's been a long decade, but with the conclusion of a 28-foot bridge I built over a stream of water, I am finally complete. Additionally, I added another bar last October to become an internationally recognized 4th degree Black Belt in Taekwondo. |
Hi, my name is Nicole, and I'm a junior in high school! I've been doing robotics for four years, starting out on a rookie team in eighth grade, the Greenies, and spending the remaining three years on this team. I'm currently taking any PLTW classes to enhance my knowledge in the STEM field, as well as computer science classes to better understand programming. My favorites have been engineering classes in which we prototype, design, and build solutions to a given problem. I'm looking forward to continue using these skills during this year's season to improve our robot and continue to familiarize myself with the engineering design process. Outside of robotics, some of my hobbies are journaling, cooking and baking, embroidery, and sewing, my latest project being bucket hats. In the future, I plan to go into engineering as the STEM field has interested me ever since I was younger. Gladly, robotics helps with pursuing that goal since it gives me experience and an opportunity to exploit my interests.

Hi, my name is Ali.
Grade: Freshman Hi, my name is Shujaath Ali. I am a freshman. This is my 2nd year in robotics. I have always loved learning new things and building things. I am working on robot hardware this year but my plan is to learn to program and also help with the software next year. Currently I am not taking any computer science classes, but plan to take some in summer or next year. My favorite sports are soccer and tennis. My hobbies are drawing, traveling, and learning interesting new things. I have not decided what I am going to do after High school. But being in robotics will help me build up my skill on group working and helping each other out. |
Hi, my name is Joshika. I am a Junior at Metea Valley High School. I have been in robotics for 5 years and I have worked with VEX and EV3. Previously, I was in Metea Robotics. I decided to be a part of Unknown Element, because one of my goals was to try to many of the robotics programs like VEX, FTC, and EV3 and right now was a good chance for me to join FTC to get an experience. Currently, I am taking AP Computer Science A and Precalculus. Some of my favorite classes would be AP Computer Science Principles, AP Psychology, Biology and Principles of Engineering. I plan to learn more about programming, because FTC is programming from scratch and programming with Java, so I hope to learn more about programming with Java. My other activities would be making YouTube videos, podcasts and running my organization. I want to pursue Computer Science. Joining robotics is going to help me with my future plans because I plan on working with robots and AI in the future, so I know that getting an exposure such working with a team and robots is going to help me.

Hi, my name is Finn. I am in 8th grade at Scullen Middle School. This year is my first on Unknown Element, but it is my fourth year in robotics. I Joined Unknown element at the same time as Brennan, Ryan, Sean, and Ellie. I joined the team because I wanted to take the next step in robotics and I like the people on the team. I am not taking any classes related to robotics at the moment, but I will be taking at least one next schoolyear. Outside of robotics, I play hockey, I also play the guitar, both of which I enjoy very much. I am not decided on what I plan to do after high school, but I know that the teamwork skills will help me with whatever I choose to do.

Hi, my name is Brennan.
Grade: 8th I was on an FLL team last year called Fuzzy Pi. This year is my second year doing robotics. When I am not doing robotics I like to play sports like tennis, golf, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I also really like to bake, over quarantine I have started making sourdough bread. In school I am taking a manufacturing and engineering class to help with robotics. I also have a twin brother on the team, Finn. |
Hi, my name is Sean.
Grade: Freshman This is my 5th year doing robotics. I started in First Lego League for 4 years on team Fuzzy Pi. I joined Unknown Element because they believed we would make a good addition to their current team. I'm taking PLTW Intro to Engineering Design. I want to advance my engineering and programming skills by learning from other members of this team. |
Hi, my name is Ryan. I'm an 8th grader at Scullen Middle School. I was previously on a First Lego League team, Fuzzy Pi, before I joined Unknown Element. I have also done VEX robotics through school. I plan on trying to learn more about engineering through FTC. I am not currently taking any engineering classes, but I plan on doing some in high school. Outside of robotics I also play the trumpet in my school band.

Hi, my name is Ellie.
Grade: Freshman I have been in robotics for 4 years. I was previously in FLL on team Fuzzy Pi. I joined Unknown Element so that I could improve my coding skills. I plan on learning how to program in Java. I am currently taking Geometry and Biology. I play on a travel softball team and am also in Marching Band. I have not decided what I am going to do after high school. |
