2.00Yoyo: Meet the Team

Get ready for an exciting manufacturing adventure! Team 2.00Yoyo is ready to create the coolest yoyo in history. We are composed of the best team members each bringing their special expertise to the team. This semester, we will be designing a compass Yoyo with steampunk inspiration in mind. As of today, the yoyo will have moving parts and metallic color. 
AND NOW...MEET THE TEAM WHO WILL BE CREATING THE BEST YOYO! 

The Designer
Clare Zhang is a junior studying mechanical engineering. When she is not enginerding, you can find her working tenaciously at illustrator. Her beautiful art work can be seen scattered throughout MIT on ATS (MIT Association of Taiwanese Students) posters or freelance posters. With all this talent, it'll be impossible to sketch an ugly Yoyo design!  

The Head of Public Relations
Connor Humber is a senior in mechanical engineering. As a member of the logs, he is not shy to project his voice in front of an audience! He can even confidently do a British accent and convince people he is from Cambridge, UK! He will teach our team how to advertise the best Yoyo. 

The Adventurer 
Kate Tatar is a Junior majoring in mechanical engineering.While Kate prefers to use her engineering knowledge to teach and help others, through mentoring in SWE, UROPing with DLab, and building a mouth-controlled joystick in the Assistive Technology Hackathon, she enjoys using her classes as an excuse for fun projects like laser tag, a rainbow gokart, and now a yoyo!

Kate enjoys doing Zumba with Emma, hiking, and making art in her free time.

The Tinkerer 
Becket Colson is a junior majoring in ocean engineering. When he is not buried under PSETS, he builds amazing inventions whether in the Marine Robotics Team or the first ever Assistive Technologies Hackathon. He even already started prototyping the yoyo with his personal 3D printer! 



The Enforcer
James Tao is a junior majoring in mechanical engineering. Already he has been keeping the team on track, reminding us about meeting days and stopping the team from going on tangents. With previous experience as an executive member of the MIT Anime Club, he knows how to organize and keep a large number of people on track! 

The Cheerlearder
Emma Nelson is a senior majoring in mechanical engineering. Though she is graduating, she will continue her masters at MIT focusing on heat and mass transfer. Her role is keeping team moral at a high level. When work gets hectic towards the end of the semester, Emma will keep everyone positive and make sure the work gets done!
