Hey, I’m Marcus, the founder.

I’m studying Mechanical Engineering and serve as VP of the SME Bothell student chapter. I am a member and have served as a lead at TrickFire Robotics.

In high school, I was a lead of the design and build teams for Bearcat Robotics, a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team. Those three years in FRC opened the world of engineering for me. I learned the engineering process and grew tremendously thanks to my mentors and the FIRST community.

When I entered college, I immediately joined an engineering club because I knew that clubs are the place where students actually apply knowledge. Most people who join engineering clubs are ambitious and driven, and that’s what I like.

I’m on a mission to enable aspiring engineering students with the support, community, and resources to exercise their ingenuity.

High-fiving uncertainty,

Marcus
