About Me

I am a freshman (2019) from Littleton, Colorado currently attending Duke University. I'm currently pursuing a major in mechanical engineering but am also interested in philosophy and economics. My interests include skiing, tennis, debate, and frogs! My favorite movie is The Usual Suspects, and my favorite color is green.

Pronunciation

My name is very simple. Ben has no unusual pronunciation, and Welton is like Well-ton.

Favorite Demonstration

My favorite demonstration was the minesweeper demonstration. I used to play the game frequently when I was younger, so it was very cool to see the code behind the program. It was also interesting to see just how complex such a simple game was to create and how matrices were used for the program.
