Being a high school robotics team, we understand the importance of honing business, cognitive, and soft skills in the STEM industry. Below is a list of Mind Maps I have created that provide concise visuals that will help illustrate the ways we have demonstrated (and struggled with) these skills. Click on the blue hyperlinks to select and navigate each Mind Map.

Please note that because these Mind Maps encompass the entire 2022-2023 season, the writing style may vary according to date time period.
