39
00:01:14.583 --> 00:01:16.708

45
00:01:27.541 --> 00:01:28.791

47
00:01:31.250 --> 00:01:32.750

51
00:01:39.333 --> 00:01:40.875
<b>fostering that sense of innovation.</b>

52
00:01:41.583 --> 00:01:43.166
<b>I think that innovation has</b>

53
00:01:43.208 --> 00:01:45.791
<b>allowed me to explore new things.</b>

54
00:01:46.375 --> 00:01:48.791
<b>I love computer science and when I</b>

55
00:01:48.833 --> 00:01:49.625
<b>started out in high school,</b>

56
00:01:49.666 --> 00:01:50.458
<b>I knew that I wanted to</b>

57
00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:52.500
<b>pursue computer science in college.</b>

58
00:01:53.208 --> 00:01:54.500
<b>But throughout the robotics program,</b>

59
00:01:54.666 --> 00:01:56.875
<b>I thought that I wanted to explore some</b>

60
00:01:56.916 --> 00:01:58.708
<b>more aspects of mechanical engineering.</b>

61
00:01:59.166 --> 00:02:00.666
<b>And that is actually something that I</b>

62
00:02:00.708 --> 00:02:01.791
<b>threw at Lake Highland and</b>

63
00:02:01.833 --> 00:02:02.458
<b>decided to actually</b>

64
00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:03.750
<b>now pursue in college.</b>

65
00:02:03.875 --> 00:02:06.375
<b>We started to use a phrase here a lot.</b>

66
00:02:06.833 --> 00:02:09.791
<b>It's "Dream it. Design it. Build it."</b>

67
00:02:10.166 --> 00:02:11.625
<b>That's really what this speaks to.</b>

68
00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:13.583
<b>Meeting those students right where they</b>

69
00:02:13.625 --> 00:02:14.916
<b>are, they've got these ideas.</b>

70
00:02:15.250 --> 00:02:17.458
<b>We're helping to foster that so they can</b>

71
00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:19.416
<b>design it, make it come to life, and</b>

72
00:02:19.666 --> 00:02:20.791
<b>do the building side of it.</b>

73
00:02:21.166 --> 00:02:22.833
<b>That's really what is happening here.</b>
