Ronav Jaiswal
Hi, my name is Ronav Jaiswal! I am a 12th grader from Pune and have always been passionate and exuberant about STEAM! This is my 5th season of the FTC this year with Team #18025 Mad About Robots from the Bishop’s School Robotics Club. I work on the Design and Engineering of our robot along with CAD modelling too! In the 2020 season, I helped form and mentor a FTC team with all visually-impaired students. I have represented India at the FIRST Global Challenge 2020 which really boosted my enthusiasm! Besides robotics, I also spend my time playing football, the guitar and in debating. I strongly believe in Alan Kay’s inspiring words,”The best way to predict the future is to invent it!”.
