Luke Higgins
Luke is a third-year student at Millersville University, majoring in Automation and Robotics Engineering Technology. He was originally more interested in media, web development and video editing, but was introduced to robotics in his junior year of high school as part of an extra activity when the general engineering course had run out of content to teach before the last week of school; he took the lead and by the end of the week long activity, his team’s marble sorting robot was the only contraption in the class that worked. In his final year of high school, Luke participated in an elective course which primarily focused on programming Lego EV3 robots, and his high school teacher later recommended Millersville University and their robotics program, leading to today. Since then, Luke has acquired skills during his time as a Millersville Student in the robotics major, and is eager to learn, collaborate, build and innovate.
