Ruby Claire Johnson-Leung, a junior from Moscow High School is one of four elite Dean's List Finalists from the Pacific Northwest FRC District (FIRST ROBOTICS). She will compete at the FIRST Championships held in Houston, TX, April 17-20th. Ruby Claire has been a member of the 4-H Palouse Area Robotics Team SciBorgs for two seasons. She is the Lead Robot Designer/CAD Lead, Co-Lead Mechanical Student, Lead Business Student, and Drive Team Coach at Competitions. Ruby Claire’s greatest skill is her willingness to take on a hard and novel task, ask the right questions, give it a wholehearted try and then be ready to fail and learn and grow into new skills and confidence. Ruby does not only practice this herself, but models and encourages this growth mindset for the whole SciBorg team, regardless of subteam or level of expertise.
