hello!

My name is Mason Istre.

about me

I'm currently a senior at Cascia Hall Preparatory School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'm interested in both Computer Science and Political Science and hope to pursue a major in both disciplines. I love rock climbing and cycling, and when I'm not on the rock wall you can find me in a coffee shop coding.

Projects

The past few years I've kept myself busy with various projects. Here are some of them!

Self-Sustaining Space Terrarium

Capable of autonomously regulating carbon dioxide, oxygen, humidity, temperature, and pressure levels, the terrarium, provided a power source, can sustain both plant and animal life regardless of the external conditions it is placed in. Additionally, it posts all of the data gathered from the sensors onto a webserver that can be accessed remotely.

Smart Prosthetic Arm

By mirroring the movements of the optimal arm and hand, the smart prosthetic arm is capable of precise, controlled movements while remaining affordable. Furthermore, the arm is fully modular with each stage independtly powered. It is also fully 3-D printable, allowing potential users to resize the arm to fit their needs.

2024 FIRST Robotics Competition CRESCENDO Robot

As the lead programmer for my school's robotics team I wrote code that allowed our robot to:

  • Use vision tracking to self-adjust its yaw and arm angle to accurately shoot rings into a goal.
  • Follow any pre-set path using PID and odometry.
  • Drive holonomically using swerve drive.
  • Place first at the Oklahoma City Regional!
