Making Robotics Accessible—Without Making a Robot Myself
Before joining Up the Ratios, I didn’t have a long history with robotics competitions like VEX or FRC. I wasn’t part of a build team in high school, and I didn’t grow up creating robots. So when I stepped into the role of Media Director at a robotics nonprofit, I wasn’t sure how exactly I would fit in. What I quickly learned is that this organization thrives because it brings together people from a variety of skill sets, and that includes storytellers like me. Up the Ratios isn't just about engineering; it's about making robotics accessible, inclusive, and visible to students and communities that might otherwise never see themselves in STEM. That’s where I realized I could make an impact.
