A 2011 recipient of a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of South Florida, Rogers, 30, regularly shares his passion for his profession with elementary school students. He explains to them how he makes sensory components used in items that range from laptop computers and gaming devices to airbags and seismographic equipment.
When he tells the students he makes gyroscopes, he uses an example they can all relate to — the Wii.
“I tell them I can make a device for a joystick,” Rogers said in a recent interview with Diverse.
