Hanning LLC @ ROBOTICON Tampa Bay 2016

What this episode covers

Description The programs of FIRST are possible only through the time and efforts of volunteers, and a competition like ROBOTICON requires a wide variety of people to make it possible. One of our volunteers this year was Todd Hanning, who helped keep the room energetic by DJing, but that's not all he does. Hanning has been involved with FIRST alumni, along with other students, at Florida Polytechnic University in developing a new product. In addition, he was also involved in the beginning of SOFWERX , a STEM facility that supports FIRST events, including hosting the FIRST Stronghold kickoff event in January 2016.
