Our forth and final senior is Shoua! Shoua joined Buzz two years ago, and she couldn't have been a better fit. This year, Shoua stepped up as one of our Mechanical Leads, and has helped show our younger students around the shop. Shoua is always willing do any job, no matter how big or small. She can be found in the pit, fixing our robot when it breaks, in the shop making parts for our robot and assembling components, or in the cafeteria helping out the business team by writing thank you cards or making jewelry. Shoua plans to attend either CT Aerotech to study airplane maintenance or CT State Community College to study Welding.

Our third senior is Colleen aka Charlie. Charlie has stepped up as our lead (and sometimes only) programmer for the past two years. Charlie also served as art lead for two years, designing our Crescendo and Reefscape season art. Charlie has a soft voice, but a huge impact on our team! Charlie is headed to RIT to major in Computer Science and possibly study Cybersecurity.

Our second senior is Joe! Joe has been on the team for only two years, but he has had a huge impact. After learning all about CAD, 3D printing, and CNC from last year's seniors, this year he stepped up as CAD lead and is now training our next generation of CAD students. He also served as a mentor for our middle school FLL teams. This year, he was also chosen as our robot driver and helped lead us back to the playoffs at District Championships! Joe plans to attend UConn to study Mechanical Engineering.

Our first senior is Andy! Andy is a four year member of Buzz and a critical mechanical and business team member. He is a master at the lathe and is willing to lead on any task, from trying to keep order in our storage room (affectionately called the graveyard), to sorting bottles and cans, to escorting our mascot, Buzz Man, around competitions. Andy plans to attend Wentworth Institute of Technology on the Engineering exploratory track to find out what branch of engineering is right for him!
