Aubrey has been involved in the robotics club at Hugo A. Owens Middle School since she was in sixth grade, the first year of the robotics program. The following year, her team made it to the finals of a state competition. Although she was already interested in STEM, building and coding robots to solve problems sparked her curiosity and interest in making this part of her future career path.
Recognizing the importance of nurturing early interests in STEM for incoming students, especially girls, Aubrey hosted an event at her school for rising sixth graders, where she introduced key robotics concepts and shared her passion for the field. She enlisted the support of Caren Daniel, a science teacher and the robotics club sponsor from Hugo Owens Middle School, to organize interactive stations for the event. By inviting incoming middle-school students, she hoped to spark curiosity and enthusiasm for robotics among the newest class.
