I am a rising Junior at Friends Central High School outside Philadelphia. I love building, coding, and problem solving. When I'm not making, you can find me rock climbing, exploring the outdoors, or skiing.

I've always loved to make things. When I was younger, it was Legos and Halloween costumes. Now that I have better access to makerspace resources and more knowledge of electronics, I'm inspired to think more originally and fix problems.
Marvin is an automated, homemade, 15 foot tall wooden connect 4 game. Using artificial intelligence software we wrote ourselves, he’s learned to play against you by analyzing thousands of games. Can you beat him?
What inspired you to make this project?:
We wanted to explore artificial intelligence and robotics in a fun and visually attractive package.
