Our Team
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
Charlotte
Captain
Hi! I am a Junior at SAR High School in my third year on the PAOS team. Last year, I was one of three Dean's List Finalists in NYC and am always continuing to build and build connection. This year, I am focusing on marketing, building, and CAD design. I decided to join the team because I really like robotics and have really grown to love the concept of gracious professionalism. When I’m not working on robotics, you can find me playing the cello, listening to rap music, or walking my dog, Skylar. I am so excited to see how far our team will go this season!
Jonah
Captain
Hey there! I'm a junior at SAR High School and proud co-captain of Team 20789. With three years of FTC experience under my belt and two years on Team 20789, I'm excited to lead the way while immersing myself in strategy, building, and software. My enduring passion for STEM has always been a driving force, and through FIRST, I can share that enthusiasm with my school and local community. Beyond robotics, I find joy in exploring the intricate realms of politics and transportation, a diverse set of interests that defines who I am. Go PAOS!

Hi! I’m a sophomore at SAR High School in my second year on PAOS. This year, as the lead programmer on my team, I’m working on organizing, managing, and writing the code for our robot. I joined PAOS because it is a great way to build connections, make new experiences, and compete for my high school. Outside of school, I like to code and play piano. Here’s to another great year of robotics at SAR!
