Rhya Burnet
Third year, Computer Engineering
Throughout my years at uOttawa, I have had the opportunity to be an active member of an innovative and exciting team whose members are united by a strong interest in engineering and robotics — the Ottabotics team. Our team not only works together to increase education and research about robotics, but also uses our engineering skills and knowledge to participate in various competitions, such as Robot Racing, RoboBoat and the International Aerial Robotic Competition. My involvement on the team began as a first-year student working closely with eight other engineering students to organize the start-up. Due to the team’s rapid expansion, I was promoted to director of marketing. This role allows me to seek opportunities for sponsorship, organize team events and promote robotics at uOttawa. I will also help introduce our innovative recycling sorter that will be implemented on campus this coming year.
Through my involvement with this team, I have had the opportunity to meet many people and have developed lifelong frienships. The Ottabotics team has been one of my greatest experiences at the University of Ottawa thus far.
