Hi, I’m Geo. I like working on all kinds of projects. When I grow up, I want to be an earth scientist and invent energy-efficient machines that let us use our natural resources wisely. I want to work with people so they stay warm and have energy to cook with, too.
Let me teach you the fun way my buddies and I do projects, I call it "hands on learning" .” Understand that each project has steps and sub-steps, and have confidence in your abilities to succeed. Everything we do can be broken down into separate pieces. Having the right tool for each step makes each project go more smoothly. It really helps to have a plan, and the bigger the project, the bigger the plan.
OK, now let’s give it a quick whirl in a virtual laboratory and build a virtual robot together. And tough but skateboarder-style-friendly robotics Competition Championship, too. I get obsessed playing challenging games, too - like the one where I have to do it quickly because the fate of the universe depends on my success on the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider Adventure.
