This year they had just six weeks to build a 120 pound robot which ended up going on to compete in the world championships in Houston! Ryan is a Life Scout, and is on his second term as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. Outside of school Ryan enjoys spending time with family, mountain biking, backpacking, and running.<\/p><p style=\"top:458px;left:53px;text-align:initial;font-weight:300;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Montserrat;color:#000000;width:690px;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;white-space:normal;\" class=\"ls-l ls-text-layer\" data-ls=\"showinfo:1;fadein:false;position:relative;\">In the future, Ryan hopes to further his passion for electrical engineering through personal projects.
