Student describes path from Lego robotics to biomedical engineering in SCPS ePathways spotlight
Summary
A student told the Seminole County board and audience how Lego robotics led to a mechanical engineering interest and plans to study biomedical engineering at UCF to develop surgical robots and motorized prosthetics. A teacher praised the student's technical progress.
A student featured during the meeting said early experience with Lego and Lego robotics sparked an interest in engineering that has continued through high school.
"I wanna develop surgical robots," the student said, describing plans to pursue mechanical engineering at the University of Central Florida and later specialize in biomedical engineering to design surgical robotics and motorized prosthetics. A teacher who taught the student in freshman year praised his mastery of Inventor material and said the student has been preparing prosthetic and orthotic designs, including a load-bearing knee brace.
The comments were presented alongside an ePathways overview highlighting Seminole County Public Schools’ career-pathway programming and options for post‑graduation education, employment, or enlistment.
