🚀 A fitting tribute to WPI alum Robert Goddard, the father of modern rocketry — and this class is already reaching for new heights.

This class includes a student who used CAD and 3D printing to build a custom Star Wars-inspired chicken coop, a competitive F1 simulation driver, an intern serving as a Media Drone Operator for the Massachusetts State House, and an elite-level numismatist trained at Witter Coin University. Also among them: a student who moderated the International Day of the Girl Child Speak Out at United Nations Headquarters, and the CEO of a youth-led assistive technology group who developed a provisional-patent-pending makeup brush for people with arthritis in partnership with the Arthritis Foundation.
