Grant has also mentored a FIRST Robotics team, lending his expert guidance on how to create the right robot for the right job.
On Thursday, August 18, Grant will share where he gets his inspiration, information, and innovative ideas. After Grant’s presentation, he will open the floor for a live Q&A where MASTERs attendees will get the opportunity to meet Grant personally and take photos.
The MASTERs Conference features four days of networking opportunities, fun activities, exhibitor booths, and over 100 lectures and hands-on classes for engineers of all skill levels.
