Peter van der Grinten

Mr. van der Grinten has mentored since the team’s first season in 2006. He joined the Apple Pi Robotics team because he wanted to contribute to it after hearing about the wonderful experience Albert Bishop, the founder of the team and his father-in-law, had creating the team. The team has been a fulfilling experience for him because it challenges him to utilize his creative thinking and problem-solving abilities and supplements his education. He is currently employed at Bishop’s Orchards, and his education includes a B.S. from Cornell University in Plant Science and adult practical engineering classes.
