“Carroll Robotics was a huge factor in my decision to become a CNC programmer. It introduced me to manufacturing, CAD, programming, and leadership. I now apply those skills in my career, and I’m proud of the foundation this program gave me.”
— Zander, CNC Programmer
“At Purdue, my robotics background helped me stand out. I was able to contribute immediately to the electric racing team, design our steering wheel, and now I lead Race Engineering. That early start wouldn’t have been possible without Carroll Robotics.”
— Alexander Charlton, Mechanical Engineering Student, Purdue
“Doing robotics in high school completely transformed my academic path. I had never been particularly interested in STEM before, but Carroll Robotics showed me how exciting and meaningful engineering could be. I now major in Industrial & Systems Engineering at the University of Washington and lead the UW Advanced Robotics Team.”
— Anna Iyer, UW Student, Robotics Team Lead
“Robotics gave me what I needed to push toward a future in engineering. I learned to code in C++, troubleshoot under pressure, and work with a team. My proudest moment was winning the UIL State title in our first year as Lone Star Cup contenders.”
— Tiagan Koob, Class of 2024
“Carroll Robotics gave me the opportunity to discover my passion for engineering while building lifelong friendships. The experience gave me the confidence to pursue a computer science degree and become a professional software developer.”
— Jake Zenick, Software Developer
