Evan Huang
New Zealand
Simple tasks are not so simple for everyone. As a teenage robot engineer from New Zealand, Evan has a vision to use technology to help the everyday lives of people with disabilities. For his Rise project, Evan invented DrinkBot—a robot that serves as a hand and an arm for the disabled and the elderly to drink from. Among other achievements, Evan is the 2022 VEX Robotics Engineering Online Challenge Champion, and he is excited to bring more ideas to life for everyone’s benefit.
