Arun Rao
FTC Mentor
I am a third-year Computer Science teacher at Stratford Preparatory Blackford, having completed my Master’s in Computer Science at California State University, East Bay after arriving in the U.S. in 2022. This is my second year advising a FIRST Competition team, and I am enthusiastically learning alongside my students. I am proud of my young and eager FTC team and look forward to our collective growth and future achievements.
