Matt Spettel is the valedictorian of the class of 2016. Matt has spent the majority of his time at Merrimack high school exploring his passions of robotics, science, and music.
This year, Merrimack’s robotics team, Chop Shop 166, had its most successful season of all time with Matt leading the way as a co-captain. Using what he learned on Chop Shop, Matt founded his own chemical pumping business called ChemiCube LLC, which has brought Merrimack recognition throughout the world at various competitions and an international science fair. While he isn’t busy inventing, Matt gives back to Merrimack by running math, electronics, and FIRST Lego League clubs at Merrimack Middle School for aspiring engineers.
