Ep 35: High School Innovators Making a Difference with The Glenelg High School Robotics Club

Rachel sits down with the Glenelg High School robotics team - Amitav Kohli, Annabelle McLemore, Tommy Ferrick, and Tommy Hwang. These young innovators share their journey of creating adaptive sports equipment that empowers students with disabilities to engage in athletic activities, boosting their confidence and mental wellness.
The team began two years ago when Amitav developed a soccer device for a student in a wheelchair, igniting a passion that led to a range of projects, including bowling ramps and outreach initiatives. The conversation dives into the personal growth experiences of each team member, including learning engineering skills, winning competitions for funding, and fostering a tightly-knit team dynamic.
