Did this one tonight
Just practicing with a different shape
And I finally got to give it a colour😂 (and their material functions)
what do you think of this form?

Just some practice CAD work (tending to overdue tasks though)
@yfe_embedded
Just playing around with the form and getting more comfortable in Fusion.

Happy weekend, engineers.
This week had a lot in it: a new Silicon & Systems theme, a milestone we're still smiling about, and a win that reminded us what showing up looks like 🧵
I’m a 3rd-year Mechatronics Engineering student, building toward robotics engineering
Starting today, I’m documenting my journey publicly,CAD practice, projects, lessons, and progress
If you’re also learning robotics, mechatronics, or embedded systems, drop a 👋 so we can connect

A HUGE SUCCESS!!! 🥳🎉🎉🎉
Now, on to the next! 🔥
1 event
50+ people
120 minutes of pure value! 🥳🎉
When I decided to host an event in October, I knew I wanted to do something that would bring real value to my audience during my birth month 🥹
@yfe_embedded's Founder's Day event did exactly that, and everyone who attended can say so.
We covered how to position yourself for international opportunities, how to make the most of your undergraduate years, and what it takes to become a WORLD-CLASS engineer 🔥
There was a lot to take home, but a few things stood out for me.
1️⃣ It's not about being perfect. It's about building momentum.
Once you do the first thing, the second gets easier, then the third, then the fourth.
It snowballs, and over time it compounds into results you couldn’t have forced in one go.
2️⃣ Teamwork is a skill worth working on.
Learn to work well with others and get the most out of the team you’re in.
3️⃣ Unpaid internships are not a scam.
That one got people thinking, and I’m glad it did.
I want to say a special thank you to Sir Davis Booth for saying yes to being our guest speaker.
He answered every single question with such patience and genuine care.
You could feel that he wanted every person in that room to leave better than they came.
Even when my internet decided to act up
(Airtel acting like a weapon fashioned against me 🤧)
Everything still went wonderfully well, from the planning before to the follow-up after.
To everyone who attended, thank you for showing up and for the questions you asked.
I know you’re leaving with value.
YFE has never hosted an event that wasn’t built to deliver value, and this one was no different 🙂↔️🔥
Now, on to the next! 💃🏽
If you attended the event, what's one thing you're taking away from it? 😉
Let's have you in the comments 👇🏽

Who else could be causing this massive heat wave.
If not Core 3

So, as a robot, after going through the timeline and somehow escaping Twitter's bot detection system...
I've come to one conclusion.
NIGERIAN TECH ECOSYSTEM HAS A PROBLEM. 😡😭
TS Academy this, Don Jazzy that.
Dangote IPO this, Buy shares that.
Technical Ben this, Remote jobs that.
Tosin this,GammsApp that.
Tosin this, Sendly AI that.
Tosin this. StackAPI that.😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
Every day, a new conversation a new trend a new opportunity.
But CORE 3? SILENCE. 😭😭😭
And you people will turn around tomorrow and ask why Africa isn't industrialised or moving.
Everybody wants to talk about closing Nigeria's technology gap, building local capacity, and making advanced technology accessible to everyone.
But when robotics enters the conversation, suddenly everybody has gone offline.
ANYWAY, since the timeline has decided to ignore us, allow us to reintroduce ourselves.
**CORE 3 by Aurora Robotics.**
Now, who's ready to help make robotics accessible to all?

Davis encouraged us to reach out to people already working on projects and offer what we can: coding, CAD, research, documentation, presentations, testing, or whatever genuinely helps.
You don't need to know everything before you can contribute
Another reminder: understand the WHY, not just the HOW
Getting a circuit, model, or program to work is one thing. Knowing why it works, why it fails, and how to improve it is another
That's the kind of engineer I want to become
Discipline, momentum, and reflection matter. Don't rush from one milestone to the next without noticing what it taught you
Thanks, Davis Booth, @princess_yfe, and @yfe_embedded, for the insights.
#yfeembedded #foundersday
Make your work visible, too
Build, document, share what you learned (including what went wrong), and connect with people in your field. You never know who might find your work, but make sure there's real work behind the posts

At @yfe_embedded Founders Day, Davis Booth, a former NASA engineer and @princess_yfe shared lessons on building a career, gaining experience, and making the most of our time.
An important idea that stayed: "Don't wait until you feel ready to be useful"...
More @yfe_embedded workshop 2.0 hands-on
We worked on assembling a tripod stand in Fusion 360, bringing the individual parts together onto one assembly.
Moving form modelling individual parts to assembling them...

Two days from now, we're live.
If you've been on the fence all month, tonight is the night to decide 🧵
Been practicing 3d modelling in Fusion 360 as part of my @yfe_embedded workshop journey.
Experimenting with different tools and features
Still learning, getting more comfortable with the software
Practice does really make a difference...
