Press release from Shoreline Community College:

December 28, 2020

She began at Shoreline by pursuing a degree in the aeronautical and astronautical engineering transfer program, but didn’t enjoy “doing too much theoretical math and not enough applied. Mechatronics has been amazing for getting hands-on time with different systems and has really been satisfying,” said Langenstein.

The robot rock star’s ultimate goal is to build spaceships. The Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics program at Shoreline “is a great way to get hands-on training and experience. I haven’t even graduated and I got a job working as a mechanic from what I’ve learned in this program,” Langenstein said.

She plans to stay at Outdoor Research while finishing out her degree, then potentially move on to aerospace in the hopes of getting to fulfill her dream of building spaceships.
