I founded Ori-Gen to combine creativity and engineering through robotics, leading our rookie team to win the Inspire Award at the NYC Qualifier.
The FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is a demanding global robotics competition for students in grades 7-12. Teams design, build, program, and operate a robot to compete in an alliance format. Beyond engineering, FTC requires teams to master business planning, fundraising, and community outreach.
Our team's name is inspired by the art of origami and the concept of genesis, creation, and new beginnings. We blend creativity with innovation, believing that just as origami transforms a single sheet into intricate forms, we can shape simple ideas into complex, functional robotic solutions. Hailing from the heart of Brooklyn, we embody the spirit of our borough: resilient, resourceful, and always evolving.
I’ve helped lead the team as Founder and Captain to our biggest success, winning the Inspire Award 2025 in our rookie year. This award recognizes the team that best embodies the spirit of the entire challenge, requiring excellence in both engineering and outreach.
I’ve helped guide the technical development of the robot, utilizing my skills in CAD, 3D Printing, and various build equipment. I oversaw the mechanical, electrical, and 3D design leads to ensure we built a precise, durable, and competitive mechanism.
I’ve helped expand upon the individual skills of each team member through one-on-one coaching. We now have a team of skilled members and leaders, as shown through the team's division into specialized roles (e.g., Head of Programming, Head of Mechanical Design).
I’ve helped manage some of the non-technical team logistics, including recruitment, holding mandatory training sessions, and assisting in fundraising efforts. This operational rigor was key to bettering the team and allowing for growth within all departments.
