Aaron's Story

My passion is robotics.

While I was growing up, my oldest brother was always in his room on his computer. He was creating and making things out of a special language on the screen that made no sense to me at the time. This concept had intrigued me, and as soon as I had an opportunity to, I started learning how to code by myself. I learned through online programs as well as lectures and YouTube, having no specific goal in mind but to learn as much as possible about how to code. Through these methods, I have learned basic coding in HTML, Java, JavaScript, and Python. Learning code has helped me to develop a real-world skill that is very prominent in the Bay Area, which is the center of technology in the United States. A subject concerning coding that I want to learn more about is Artificial Intelligence in Robotics.

Envision NYLF Engineering & Technology will help me to pursue my passion for coding by allowing me to explore real-world applications of coding. The area of coding that I wish to explore most is robotics, and more specifically Artificial Intelligence in Robotics. I want to learn how to design a robot that learns by itself, and uses the information it learns to function more efficiently. Artificial Intelligence is going to be a prominent part of the technology industry, and I may want a career in creating it. The concept of Artificial Intelligence is interesting to me because it is the window into the future, in which more menial tasks will be automated and will not require human attention. Creating Artificial Intelligence is also a scary concept, as it can potentially lead to catastrophic consequences if not programmed correctly. This possibility makes me want to hopefully prevent these effects before they happen.
