About Me

My name is Zach Bears. I'm currently a freshman at Duke in the EGR103 class. I really enjoy programming so I'm looking forward to the rest of this course.

Name Pronunciation

I prefer to go by Zach (rhymes with tack). Also, my last name is actually pronounced Bears like the animal. I get that question quite a bit.

Interesting Article about efficient Solar Power harnessing

I found this article about using solar energy to produce an energy carrier like hydrogen to be really interesting. I felt it was a change from the common means of harnessing solar power.

Basic Interests

  • Robotics
  • Programming (Java, HTML, PHP, CSS, etc.)
  • Running, Crew, and Wrestling
  • Sleep

 

Current Projects

I just ordered an arduino and a ton of motors and am going to tinker with it for the next few weeks to make a robotic arm that will mimic the motion of my arm. If anyone has advice for using the Arduino, feel free to give it!
