She has helped with the mechanical, electrical, and Chairman’s teams while on 1218. Noelle’s interest in engineering has become so great that she and Catie McDermott, a fellow teammate, have started to build an airplane with the help of their mentor Peter Randall.  In her senior year, she was named co-captain of Team 1218.

Catie McDermott – Head of Media and Communications

Catie is a senior and has technically been on the team for four years. Although she was not very committed during her freshman year, she has fallen in love with engineering and has become a leader on the team. She decided to follow her passion and took an engineering course with her friend Noelle, with whom she is building an airplane. Catie, the Head of Media, can be found taking pictures at competitions and creating the videos that go on our social media. She is so excited for her final season and can’t wait to meet more people from other teams.
