Noah Douglas is a six-year veteran of the FIRST programs with three years of FLL and three years of FTC. He is a committed team member, who is reliable, a fierce competitor, and has a passion for learning. I have personally taught Noah in multiple college-level engineering courses through Project Lead The Way (PLTW), and he has been a hard-working student who has demonstrated tremendous levels of perseverance, willingness to learn, and an ability to always find excitement through his education.
