Hi, I’m Corey Lu. I am a junior at Mass Academy who loves the outdoors, engineering, and staying active.
Hello, my name is Corey Lu. I am a current junior at Mass Academy, and my sending school is Algonquin Regional High School.
I have always loved to travel and experience new places. One of my favorite trips was to Banff and Jasper in Canada, where I had the chance to explore the breathtaking Canadian Rockies. I especially enjoyed hiking along the trails, biking through the mountain scenery, and spotting wildlife in their natural habitat.
Being outdoors has always been something I value, whether it’s through travel or in my everyday life.
Athabasca Glacier, Jasper National Park
The Athabasca Glacier stretches ~6 km and up to 300 m thick but has been rapidly retreating over the past century.
I am a member of Troop 1 Southborough, where scouting has helped me build leadership and enjoy the outdoors. I also enjoy programming and engineering design, combining problem-solving with creativity.
I am also a member of my school’s robotics team, FRC 190, where we design, build, and program competitive robots for the FIRST Robotics Competition. Being part of the team gives me the opportunity to collaborate with other students on engineering challenges while learning hands-on skills in mechanical design, coding, and teamwork. Through competitions and projects, I get to apply STEM concepts in real-world scenarios while representing my school.
For sports, I play tennis and golf and make time for hiking, biking, and camping.
I live with my mom, dad, and sister, plus two pets: a golden retriever named Bogey and a ragdoll cat named Rella. Bogey is 7 years old, and Rella is 11 years old. My sister is a Freshman at Algonquin.
In my free time, I relax by watching movies and listening to music. I like listening to country and pop music. I watch football, hockey, basketball, and tennis.

Over the course of the school year, I volunteered with my Boy Scout troop. I did activities such as restocking the food pantry, running community dinners, cleaning trails, and building Eagle Scout Projects.

The Southborough Open Land Foundation (SOLF) is a private organization that owns properties throughout Southborough with the goal of preserving them for public use. I spent weekends cleaning trails, removing invasive species, and maintaining pollinator gardens.

With First Robotics Team 190, I volunteered at the FLL State Championships, and FLL scrimmages. I got to work with kids raning from 6 to 12 years old. It was super rewarding to see everyone come together.
