The Lunar Spelunkers

Thanks to my passion for art, I found myself unpredictably fascinated with coding. During my time at Victor Valley College, I decided to step out of my comfort zone to explore the Robotics Club as a means to familiar myself with what I may be working with in my pursuit Computer Information Systems. In doing so, I was provided the opportunity to participate in the Nasa Space Program Internship in which myself and two of my peers created an autonomous robot that would navigate its way through the lava tunnels of the moon in place of scientists for safer discovery. This was an example of testing my limits as I went in with basic coding knowledge and zero experience working with animatronics. As one could imagine, this was horrifically stressful, but quitting is not an option for me. I have no room to doubt my abilities and succeeding in this project has solidified my confidence in my ability to not only take on challenges, but to face my internal fears.
