PARVAAN
BUILDS.
Building things, and understanding how they work. Mechanics, robotics and engineering: from a WRO robot headed to Puerto Rico to an F1 car that reached the STEM Racing India Nationals.
Next stop: Puerto Rico.
Our team came 2nd in the RoboSports category at the WRO Nationals in Hyderabad and qualified for the WRO International Final in Puerto Rico. I’m the team’s builder.

6 projects across competition robotics, race-car design, teaching and applied AI. Each one has its own page.
WRO RoboSports
2nd place at the WRO Nationals in Hyderabad with my team’s RoboSports robot, and qualified for the WRO International Final in Puerto Rico, 8–10 December 2026.
STEM Racing F1 Car
Designer on a school team that designed and built an F1 car and reached the STEM Racing India Nationals at Sharda University. Includes turning the car’s mesh into a regulation-compliant CAD solid.
Cozmo Clench
A four-member team build for Techfest, IIT Bombay: the bot, the track and the code. 6th out of 40 teams at the round held at IIIT Delhi.
Robotics & Design Workshop
A robotics and design workshop I planned and ran on my own for Grade 6 students at school, ending with them building their own LEGO projects.
J.A.R.V.I.S. Assistant
A self-hosted AI assistant in a single HTML file: 3D particle UI, voice in and out, local Ollama models with Claude as fallback, STL generation and a persistent memory.
DIY EV Go-Kart
An electric go-kart planned end to end: chassis layout in SketchUp, a full bill of materials audited line by line, and sourcing for the drivetrain and battery.
The tools behind the builds, from sketch to solid to code.

About Parvaan
I’m a Grade 9 student at Pathways World School, Gurgaon, India and I’ve been building things for as long as I can remember.
LEGO sets and model kits were some of my earliest interests, but what kept me coming back was never just the finished model. I wanted to understand how things were designed, how the different parts worked together and what I could change or build differently.
That curiosity somehow extends beyond models. I have always been interested in the technology and electronics around me and enjoy understanding what is inside a device, how its parts fit together and what makes it work. Building is also how I learn best - I understand things more clearly when I can work with them, test them and see the result for myself.
Over time, this has led me towards robotics, mechanical design and engineering projects. Competitions have given me opportunities to apply that interest in different ways, work with teams and build for real challenges.
This year, our team came 2nd at the WRO Nationals in Hyderabad in RoboSports category and qualified for the WRO International Final in Puerto Rico.
For me, building is not just an activity. It is one of the major ways I explore ideas, learn and understand the world around me.
