Top Kart: Karting Extravaganza

Skylar Friedman '26
This award recognizes outstanding technical innovation, hands-on craftsmanship, and a profound commitment to experiential learning. This senior successfully channeled his passion for robotics and engineering into a remarkable capstone project: designing and building a fully functional, custom go-kart from the ground up. By translating complex theoretical concepts into a tangible machine—the ultimate dream project of every childhood imagination—he demonstrated exceptional problem-solving, resilience, and mechanical skill. Beyond the impressive physical build, this project served as a powerful catalyst for his future, solidifying a deep-seated interest in pursuing mechanical engineering.
