Student Highlight

Crystal Gonzalez

Crystal Gonzalez is studying General Science at CCA through the Pre-Engineering program and plans to attend the University of Colorado - Boulder to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Architectural Engineering with a minor in Environmental Science. Living in Mexico for most of her life, Crystal moved to Colorado and became the first in her family to attend college. She has worked with the CCA robotics team to build a robot and participate in COSGC's annual Robotics Challenge. She is currently on CCA's first team to compete in COSGC's Wearable Quest Challenge - their research concerns building a glove suitable for use in space and emergency management that will provide the ability to communicate basic biological stats of the wearer back to Earth. In this project, she helps the team in creating the hardware, design, and systematics. Upon degree completion, Crystal's main goal is to focus on creating sustainable functions for new and old structures that will benefit the environment, keeping in mind that humans are also benefiting from these new eco-friendly systems.
