Caela Gomes completed her Bachelor’s of Science in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After graduating, she took her experience to a start up company that focused on large scale additive manufacturing and novel methods of lunar construction, both of which prioritized sustainable building. Over the course of five years, she helped develop several commercial machines and participated in three collaborative projects with NASA teams, eventually assuming the position of VP of Engineering. Now, she is excited to return to her passion of furthering STEM education as a member of the BlueStamp Engineering leadership.
