Lipscomb Engineering Students Secure Third Place in International Robotics Competition
A team of electrical engineering students from Lipscomb participated in RoboCup, an international robotics competition in Eindhoven, Netherlands, in the summer of 2024. Competing against teams from around the world, the students had an opportunity to showcase their skills in robotics programming, image recognition, problem-solving and others. They placed third in their category, the first two being Mexico and England.

A New Year’s miracle
Editor’s Note: As part of a practicum assignment, students were asked to reflect on their favorite Christmas memories. This series, written in a more personal style, captures the unique moments and traditions that make the holiday season special. Christmas is a time to gather all family members together, remember the miracle of Jesus Christ’s birth, and spend time skiing and sledding. Did I mention the word “presents”? Showing love through all the things we buy for our close ones can be tiring, yet so rewarding and definitely worth it in the end. In Russia, New Year’s is actually bigger than Christmas, and the whole nation celebrates together once 12 hits.…

Let’s go on a cruise; the destination is Barista Parlor
Republished from Coffee with a Russian, February 23, 2023. Barista Parlor has won me with its aesthetic design and location near the center of the city. It does indeed look like a parlor, and it made me think of the adventures that could take place there. Although not at all luxurious, Barista Parlor has a relaxing design for anyone who needs a break from school, work and worrying. It is focused mainly on red and white colors along with being minimalistic and having a bunch of plants around. There are also seats outside located as if they were on a deck, which contributes to the sense of traveling. Whatever you need, you can…

How to fall in love with Poindexter in less than five minutes
Republished from Coffee with a Russian, March 9, 2023. This week I went deeper into downtown of Nashville and found Poindexter — an extra-authentic coffee shop located in the lobby of Graduate hotel. Both inside and outside of the building are unique and aesthetically pleasing, like the color palette of decor inside and the lights outside. The space is full of art and various-colored furniture. My favorite part of the shop is perhaps the patterned sofas located at different levels on the steps at one side of the hall. This design choice is so fun; I feel like it gives the visitors positive emotions right when they walk in. Poindexter’s menu has both made…
