Hey everyone! My name is Aditi and I am a bioengineering master’s student in the GMI program. I attended UC San Diego for undergrad and am originally from California. While in college, I was involved in the classical dance team.

During my sophomore year, I worked in a team of four to build a robot for a class competition. Our robot moved along raised rails to move blocks from one location to another. It was the first time I had used 3D printing and laser cutting to create something.

I hope to learn how to build everyday objects through this course and become a better maker. Looking forward to the course!
