Next up, say hello to Vibha!
Vibha is currently a senior at Caltech majoring in computer science. She is currently the treasurer and secretary of Robogals Caltech. She has been involved with Robogals since her sophomore year. Her favorite workshop is the Lego Mindstorms because it’s an intuitive way to understand the logic behind programming while making a robot move!
At her previous engineering internships, she’s seen firsthand how few women there are in industry, so she hopes to make a difference while volunteering with Robogals. While this is her last year volunteering with Robogals Caltech, Vibha hopes to continue volunteering for local communities when she moves to Seattle next year to work for Amazon Web Services.
In her free time, Vibha likes to read and hike.

With the holidays around the corner, we would like to introduce the members of our team this year and tell you about all the great work they are doing, both outside and with Robogals! Stay tuned for details about our workshops this past term!

First up, meet Miranda!
Miranda Schwacke is currently a senior at Caltech, majoring in Materials Science. She has been involved with Robogals since beginning to volunteer at workshops as a freshman and is now the president of the Caltech chapter. Her favorite workshop is the NXT Mindstorms robotics workshop because it reminds her of her own experiences using NXT robots in elementary school which helped to inspire her to study science and engineering. Miranda is originally from Charleston, South Carolina and also enjoys baking, hiking, kayaking, and spending time with her friends, family, and two dogs.

Check out this inspiring article on an all-girl team building robots together, who recently traveled to China for a robotics competition as representatives of their school! 😁

This is what engineering is all about.

Interesting story about a color-blind artist using technology to see in a new way.

Neil Harbisson can "see" in UV thanks to an antenna-like implant that boosts his perception of light and gives him super-senses.
