TJ Makes

TJ Makes is an instagram page and youtube channel I started to display my passions and teach everyday people how to be makers. I write content about the design process, post my drone photography, and build personal projects to solve problems around the house. I started it in quarantine as a way to escape everything going on, and it's continued as a fun hobby outside of school-work. 

InnoGators

InnoGators is a design team I started on campus to increase the participation of underrepresented communities in the design team space. I noticed a lack of these communities in my own experience with engineering design teams and wanted to create an environment where they can feel comfortable and gain valuable skills.
