Hi, I’m Rithvan Senthiil. Over the past few years, my interest in the STEM field has grown. Robotics and Science Fairs have been two of the largest STEM activities I’ve participated in. I have 3 years of experience in FIRST LEGO League (FLL), where I qualified for the Ohio State Championship twice and gained hands-on skills in robotics, programming logic, and teamwork. I’ve also competed in science fairs for 5 years, advancing to the Ohio State Science Fair twice with aerospace engineering projects involving electronics, programming, and 3D modeling. I presented one of these projects at a NASA convention center and to Boeing engineers, collaborating with Dhruv Prasanna to showcase our work. I’ve also been part of my school’s Mathcounts team for two years and built several small projects using Python and HTML.

Hi, I'm Dhruv Prasanna, and my passion for STEM has grown steadily over the years. I've spent 6 years competing in FIRST LEGO League (FLL), where I qualified for the Ohio State Championship twice and developed hands-on skills in robotics, programming, and teamwork. I've also participated in science fairs for 5+ years, advancing to the Ohio State Science Fair twice, with award-winning projects focused on rockets, propulsion systems, and airflow dynamics. My work has led me to present at a NASA convention center and to Boeing engineers, where I received valuable feedback and gained exposure to professional aerospace research. Along the way, I've learned programming languages like C++, Java, HTML, and Python, and continue to explore the intersection of creativity and technical precision in everything I do.

Hi, I’m Vrush Kondreddi. I’ve been passionate about robotics, coding, and mathematics for several years. These interests led me to compete in FIRST LEGO League (FLL) for 3 years, where I qualified for the Ohio State Championship twice and earned multiple awards including Robot Design and Robot Performance. I’ve also participated in Mathcounts for 2 years, placing in the top ranks at my school and competing at the chapter level. In NSF competitions, I placed top 3 in Columbus twice and qualified for Nationals once. I was a finalist in my school’s Shark Tank program, where I helped develop and present an AI chatbot project to Dublin officials alongside Aarush Jasti and Ronith Sai Nammi. I’ve built small projects using Python and HTML, expanding my programming skills through hands-on experience.

Hi, I’m Ronith Sai Nammi. I’ve always had a strong passion for science—especially chemistry—and I’m deeply interested in chemical engineering and robotics. I’ve been a member of this FTC team and spent 3 years competing in FIRST LEGO League (FLL) at the regional level, where I also served as Vice Team Lead for one year. I’m skilled in both block coding and Python, and I’ve consistently excelled in chemistry and physics. I’ve won 2nd place twice in science competitions and recently began participating in the BSEF science fair. I’ve presented FLL projects to Ohio State professors and reached out to companies for support. I was a school finalist in the Shark Tank cross-curricular project, where my team presented a solution to Dublin’s gardening challenges. I also helped create an AI chatbot as part of that project, collaborating with Vrush Kondreddi.

Hi, I’m Nico Swayne. I’m passionate about using math to solve real-world problems, and it connects deeply with my interests in robotics, coding, and mechanical engineering. I’ve been part of MathCounts for 2 years, where I strengthened my problem-solving and logical thinking through advanced challenges. I’ve gained proficiency in Fusion 360 for 3D modeling and used Bambu Lab 3D printers to create custom parts for robotics and other projects. I’ve also completed hands-on electronics work through Arduino programming, designing circuits for sensors, motors, and automation tasks. Outside of competitions, I’ve taken college-level courses in Python and Digital Design at Columbus State Community College, and I enjoy working as part of a team—whether it’s in the FTC challenge or rowing with my varsity crew.

Hi, I’m Sankalp Srinidhi. For many years, I’ve had a strong passion for STEM and leadership. I started building with LEGO bricks at age 2 and learned block coding by the time I was 7. During COVID, I spent hours each day learning Python and completed major portions of Khan Academy’s HTML, JavaScript, and SQL courses. I have 2 years of experience in FIRST LEGO League (FLL), competing in multiple events and building hands-on skills. I’ve also been part of MathCounts for 3 years, competing at the school, chapter, and state levels, with top individual placements and team finishes. In Math Kangaroo, I competed three years ahead of my grade and placed 4th and 3rd in the state, and 4th nationally.
