Bio

Pronouns: he/him

My name is Joseph Shotts but you can call me Joey. I grew up in a medium sized town near Grand Rapids Michigan. I'm currently studying computer engineering at Grand Valley State University.

I’m really passionate about innovation and technology. Besides UIF, I'm a team leader in a makerspace on campus called the Technology Showcase. This space gives students/faculty/staff free access to 3D printing, laser cutting, VR and other technology. I get to make projects that show off the technology, help students/faculty/staff with their projects, and lead/train/encourage student workers in the space.

I created a website, https://josephshottsisnotyouraveragejoe.com/, to show off my projects and involvment.

I'm a firm believer in Sustainability and climate action. I don't think this just applies to the environment. I think we need to learn how to grow sustainably individually as well as a society.
