About me
I am currently a freshman at Purdue University with plans to major in Mechanical Engineering through the honors college. As a high schooler at Dublin Coffman High School, I was involved with both engineering-specific and related STEM classes for all four years. I co-founded Coffman Disc Golf club, served as the Auxiliary Mechanical Director for FRC Team 1014, was elected as the senior class secretary of the Student Council, and was a member of NHS. Over the summer, I work as a sailing instructor at a local yacht club. More about me can be found on my work experience page, by watching my narrative vlog, or by checking out my resume. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn @JoshuaBuss.

Mars Rover
At the end of the first semester of my junior year, my group was tasked with designing, building, and coding a LEGO Mindstorms robot that could complete a wide variety of missions on the surface of mars (two plywood sheets at different heights connected via ramp). You can read more about this project by navigating to the Mars Rover subpage under Engineering Academy or by visiting this link.
Capstone Update 1
To begin my senior capstone year, I upgraded school 3D printers, created video lessons/documentation on how to operate the 3D printers, designed and fabricated a robotics part, and worked on a CNC machine. To learn more, navigate to the Capstone Project 1 subpage or open this link.
Container Home Construction
During the second semester of my sophomore year, I designed a Container Home. I then was tasked with constructing it in 1/32 scale over a period of 1.5 months. This project is still on display in my engineering room, 2 years later. To watch my design vlog, you can navigate to the Design- Shipping Container House or open this link. Similarly, to view the fabrication vlog, navigate to Fabrication- Shipping Container House or open this link. Both subpages can be found under the previous work tab.
