ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Adam Zolotovsky. I am a senior at Brookline Highschool. I am passionate about creative engineering and hands-on project-based education. I am excited about robots and competitions and for two years built industrial-size robots as a mechanical engineering group member at Nutrons, First Robotics team at Northeastern University. I built robots to play dodgeball and navigate space, and mentor middle school kids to build Lego robots. I love innovation and spent my summers at NuVu, The Cambridge School for Innovation. I took studios in creative engineering, innovation, and entrepreneurship, such as Flying Bots, Wearable Technology, and Social Robots. Biking has always been a big part of my life and I work at a local employee-owned bike shop Laundry’s. I love to work with my hands, and all aspects of my job -- building and fixing bikes, talking with customers, and being a part of a community. I love having a real job and being part of a team. In college, I’d like to focus on solving real-world problems with engineering. I am most interested in how to use energy, materials, and innovation to preserve and save our environment.

Design by Engineering class

First Robotics

Engineering by Design was developed by teachers from all areas of the BHS Science Department in collaboration with the Tufts University School of Engineering. Together, they created a curriculum challenging students to identify problems, design, build, and test their solutions.

In my first two years of high school I was at the national-award winning First Robotics team Nutrons at Northeastern University. As a mechanical team member, I worked with other high school and university student mentors and built robots for regional and national STEM Robotics competitions.

NuVu

I spent the freshman and sophomore summers taking hands-on studios at NuVu, The Cambridge School for Innovation. I took studios in creative engineering, innovation, and entrepreneurship, for example: Flying Bots, Wearable Technology, and Social Robots.
