Tonight we raised over $20K for the Idaho STEM Action Center!
I set a 4th Guinness World Record in the process. Longest chainsaw balance on the chin: 3 minutes 1 second, beating the old world record by over a minute. I shared about how I had no coding experience before I got to MIT and how Jennifer decided to become a mechanical engineer in part due to FIRST Robotics. Then I asked for money to support 2 related STEM initiatives.
