Dakota Mundell is an undergraduate student studying Mechanical Engineering. He joined IDeA Labs at the beginning of 2023 to collaborate with bee research in creating a robotic bee. Dakota is from Lewiston, Idaho. Outside of the lab he enjoys anything outdoors: camping, hiking, fishing, and hunting, restoring old cars, and spending time with his wife and family. He also grew up taking care of honeybees with his dad and grandpa. They have about 100 colonies and he hopes to keep beekeeping as a hobby after he graduates.
