Sophia Woodbury, an 18-year-old graduating senior from Suncoast Polytech, plans to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study electrical engineering and computer science.

She said the opportunities offered to her at the magnet school helped her find what she wanted to do after high school. Woodbury was involved with the school's robotics team and sailed with Sarasota Youth Sailing.

"I love the problem-solving side of things. I really like math, and that's kind of a direct application of math in a way that's interesting," Woodbury said of her time in robotics.
