Mark Macluskie

I'm Mark. I am a home schooled seventh grader living in Arizona. I enjoy playing drums, fooling around with my dog and hang out with my friends playing nerf war and zombie tag. I have a love of robotics, computers and all things tech. I have been passionate about robotics and engineering since I was eight years old, competing and winning awards in both First Lego League and Vex competitions. When I grow up I plan on working with the military building robotic weapons.

My other passion is speaking out about autism. I lost my diagnosis of autism when I was eight years old. I speak nationally about autism and I have been interviewed by Lifetime TV, ABC, and NBC news. I also successfully lobbied the Arizona Legislature for Steven’s Law, an autism insurance mandate, including testifying before the Senate Health Committee. I hope to demonstrate that children can rise above the diagnosis of autism.

I am excited to share my interest in robotics, engineering, science and technology with kids across America.

Hi, I'm Dillon. I am a 13 year old home schooler. I live in Arizona with my mom, dad, sister and brother. My father also works in Pennsylvania, so we get to travel there regularly.

I participated on an award-winning robotics team at the First Lego League competition for 3 years. I enjoy all aspects involved with robotics - designing, programming, problem solving, team work and even the competition. I really enjoy competition, in general.

My absolute favorite thing to do is play baseball. I have played since I was 4 years old and love that I can play year round in Arizona. I aspire to be a sports broadcaster someday.

I am very excited to be a host on Voice America Kids! I look forward to sharing technology information and answering questions from kids around the nation.
