Summary In this presentation we will cover: Team Member Bios The story of Robot Harry Potter and why he needs to run a maze Team Conclusion with words of wisdom

Bio: Naomi Sommer Freshman I was Exploratory Engineering, and now I’m still Exploratory Engineering… But leaning toward Computer Science. This class has shown me a lot more about what is involved in electrical engineering I plan to graduate as an engineer and get a good job in whatever field I finally pick. Beyond that, I’m not sure. My advice to future students is to get involved and try everything, even things you may not expect to like. You never know what will spark an interest. Also, always carry an umbrella.

I am a freshman. I was a chemical engineering major but switched to electrical after finding out how much I disliked chemistry. This class taught me that teamwork within robotics is crucial for success. I also got a taste of what mechanical and electrical engineers do as a career. This course has definitely opened my eyes to the different opportunities out there. I plan to graduate in 2017 and continue my education here at UF. A word of advice; try something even if it doesn't seem to pretty at first. You might enjoy it. Bio: Princess Martinez

Freshman Engineering-Undecided --> Civil Engineering This class has shown me how to build and use pieces of technology that I had no previous experience with. This class has given me a new interest in coding. I plan to get more involved in research in the engineering department. In the future I would love to plan and design new cities. I would tell future students to choose a major and courses that interest them and to get involved because having connections is very useful! Bio: Gaby Morales

Robot Story Our robot is Harry Potter as he is running the maze in the final challenge of the Triwizard Tournament. He wants to win the cup for Hogwarts!

Team Conclusions Through ECE Adventures, we have learned a lot more about robotics and the importance that teamwork plays in it. We advise new students to try new things and see what interests them. Get involved!
