The summer before my freshman year in highschool, I got a 3d printer, and started designing custom parts to fix problems around the house. In highschool, after a year of introductory engineering design. I was accepted into its 3 year Engineering Academy Pathway, which provided me with tools and engineering focused education to help me grow as an engineer. With time I grew my engineering and CAD skills by collaborating with others to solve real world probems.
