MIT Maker Portfolio [REJECTED]

  • So I made this Maker Portfolio video as a supplement to my college applications. I submitted it to any college that would receive it (MIT, Johns Hopkins, UPenn, and Columbia). I was rejected from MIT, Johns Hopkins, UPenn, and Columbia. I was accepted to Carnegie Mellon and I'm going there. I only applied to those 5 schools because I like to live life on the edge🤙
    If you have any questions about my projects or about the Maker Portfolio supplement, ask in the comments below!

      This is the only video I've watched so far that actually has some original ideas and are cleaverly made. Now that I watched this, I don't even believe I have a slight chance of getting accepted. :/

      you dont know the rest of what she did or her grades and stuff. From experience, and I don't mean to come off as an asshole, but designing an intake and a gearbox for frc is just nowhere near MIT-level and the rest is also mostly pretty basic stuff (for MIT)

      yes it is a bit basic but this is the citrus circuit intake which was famously incredibly effective so although the concepts aren't incredibly complex it shows passion and that he has the capacity to design things efficiently, and think critically about engineering design@@timofy2641

    One question. I noticed for the first project you worked on, it looked like it was for frc or another robotics comp. Nearly all of these competitions are team based. If you worked as a team specifically what parts of the robot did you work on. If you completely worked on CAD and did the building that would be really impressive.

    • @zacharysaom9846
      @zacharysaom9846 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I find that when you’re dealing with fairly complex components like he was usually it’s just one person who CADs parts. Not good to have too many cooks in the kitchen for those types of assemblies lol

    • @mortismain6719
      @mortismain6719 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      This was for 1678, a FRC robotics team, and from how I under stand it he was in charge of CADding the intake (one part of the robot), but he was not the sole CADder of the robot (1678 is a big team)

      I did all the prototyping, CAD work, assembly, and maintenance for the intake mechanism. I occasionally had newer members help with small tasks for assembly. I received lots of feedback (and guidance in the beginning) from a team mentor but he didn't touch the robot or CAD haha.

    Felipe, at what age did you start learning about 3d modeling and robotics? What programs or activities helped foster your learning?

    • @cfelipef824
      @cfelipef824  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      My first experience with 3D modeling and 3D printing was at a summer camp in elementary school. I 3D designed and printed a fidget spinner haha. From there on I continued working with 3D modeling (the software is free if you are a student) and using printers I had at school. Before my robotics team, all my experience and learning was from doing personal projects and watching youtubers (like RClifeon). Thanks for the comment!
