About Me
My name is Krish Kalla, and I am a Junior (Grade 11) at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, NH. The first two years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as the robotics team captain and programming lead. This year, I took on the role of programming lead, focusing on the robot's autonomous programming. Collaborating with a talented group of peers, I’ve helped design, build, and program robots for the FIRST Tech Challenge. Our dedication and teamwork have led us to the State Championship for three consecutive years, and this year, we proudly secured place as "Finalist Alliance - 1st pick" in the state, qualifying to attend any FTC premier event worldwide—an achievement I’m extremely proud of. I'm also a Dean's List Semi-Finalist the past two years.
Robotics has grown from a hobby into a profound passion for me. The field represents a limitless realm of innovation and creativity, fueling my desire to share this enthusiasm with others. I’m deeply committed to raising awareness about robotics and inspiring students around the world to engage with technology and engineering. By promoting robotics and related competitions, I hope to spark curiosity and excitement in young minds, encouraging them to explore the boundless possibilities of STEM.
As I continue my journey in robotics, I am dedicated to serving as both an advocate and a mentor for those who share my enthusiasm. It is my goal to contribute meaningfully to the global robotics community and play a role in shaping the future of STEM education.
