We are Team Juvo
Team Juvo is a part of Archimedes, a student organization that hosts four design teams exclusively for Virginia Tech freshmen. Guided by upperclassmen leads and subject-matter experts, we have the unique opportunity to participate in STEM design challenges that feature hands-on work.
Founded in 2018, Juvo uses engineering to help the community. Freshmen are tasked with designing a solution for someone in the disabled community. In the past, Juvo has created solutions for accessibility in production, wheelchair disabilities, motor impairments, and more!
Our freshmen members include: Avril Yelland, Will Draper, Ansh Khatiwada, Madison Kim, Abby Sobal, Sabina Borjes, and Prehaan Parikh!
