[[File:RobinBonatesta.jpg|thumb]]I'm Robin Bonatesta, a double major in Fashion Merchandising and Computer Science at Kent State University. I'm the assistant manager of the TechStyle Lab, the technology center for fashion students. I also help manage a store in downtown Kent where fashion design students can sell their designs. Additionally, I work as Kent's Google Student Ambassador. 

As a student, I lead HacKSU, an organization for students interested in web/software design and development. Through HacKSU, I teach once a week and plan Kent Hack Enough, an annual hackathon. I also work with HacKSU, the TechStyle Lab, and our Blackstone Launchpad (a student business accelerator) to host an annual Fashion Hackathon focused on wearable technology. I also co-founded a yoga and tai chi group on campus where student entrepreneurs and makers come together to relax and hang out once a week. I attend hackathons almost every other week during the school year and I out-eat all the other Kent State hackers at free meals. I love food.

Besides my areas of study, my favorite things in the whole world are cats and dogs, sleeping, eating, graphic design, and entrepreneurship.

Hey, I'm Matthew Allen, A Game Design, Art and Animation student at Kent State University.

While going to school I am also Director of Technology at Blackstone Launchpad at Kent State University and Lab Tech for College of Technology, Kent Campus.

I am also President of Imagineers at Kent campus, Imagineers is a club centered around animation and game design. As President I am pushing the club to teach students new skills that are not openly taught in class as well as create a place for open discussion on trending technology and interests.

Aside from work and school I continually seek to improve my knowledge in fields of 3D modeling, entrepreneurship and general technology. I also like to read about major current events and pose questions about them to my friends for open debate, which sometimes includes me playing devils advocate.

I love discussion but unfortunately the world I was brought up in does not, this is what I aspire to change.
