The Ashesi Robotics Experience has been one of the best things I have been a part of. I actually believe ARX was more of a great learning process than a competition for me. The Ashesi student mentors we had were very helpful, and surprisingly friendly. Unlike what I have been previously used to, the learning process during ARX was very hands-on. This made it very easy for us to understand how we could take what we were learning and apply it.
One thing I appreciated about the Ashesi Robotics Experience, was the emphasis on teamwork. Learning to work with people I had not known prior to ARX was difficult, but it was a lot of fun being able to share the excitement of seeing our robot perform the tasks as we wanted it to!
ARX has taught me to appreciate how Computer Science can teach you to solve real problems in society, and how working as part of a team can help make it easier to achieve great heights. Technology is really changing society, and I have come to understand why we cannot choose to be left behind.
Being here at Ashesi has been a wonderful experience – one I don’t think I am going to forget. In my week here, I have come to appreciate the school, its vision, and the work that is being done here. I hope Ashesi can expand its courses in the future, so many more people can come study here.
