I'm Shivam, a Class of 2025 student at TJHSST. I have always had a passion for engineering, and its various, modern-day applications that help the community. I believe through CoCA, I can do the same, apply basic concepts to help those in need. This is the main reason I joined this initiative. Outside of engineering, I love to play and watch basketball, read, and listen to music. I hope that through CoCA, I can use my skills to help the visually impaired and give back to the community.

Hi, I’m Jake, a sophomore at TJHSST, class of 2025. I am a member of the hardware and engineering team for CoCA. I really enjoy working in CAD, electronics and wiring, and putting different parts together to make something work. Through working with CoCA I hope to further my engineering experience on a real, long-term project while also helping to make the lives of the visually impaired both easier and safer. Outside of school I enjoy practicing football and lacrosse and playing with my dog.
