Connector:

“I would show them the cool robots I made, and they didn’t care at all,” recalled Anderson, now a 25-year-old entrepreneur. “I knew there were people from Mississippi to Japan who loved hanging out with robotics like I did, but I had no way to connect with them.”

King is the lab man­ager for Best Bees, an urban bee­keeping com­pany located in Boston’s South End neigh­bor­hood and founded by North­eastern alum Noah Wilson Rich, AS’05. While on co-​​op, she’s spent her days observing what she calls these “golden and beau­tiful” organisms.
