I was on a fairly serious First Robotics team in high school. Nothing else during my pre-professional years prepared me as well for what it would be like to run/work on a team to solve challenging problems. I really appreciate that it was a space where adults treated me like one, and taught my how to execute on that level way before my peers.

I was pleasantly surprised when I started my first R&D job after university. It's just like a FIRST team but everything is bigger including the robots.
I don't think anything else in school has prepared me for the real world more than my FIRST team. If I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be to join the team in my freshman year instead of senior year.
