I never knew of anyone else like me growing up, except Jim Abbott. I never considered so many people like me struggled to tie their shoes. This was just amazing. I couldn't imagine going to a sports camp for people like me.

Leaving this week to present at EARCOS in Kuala Lumpur. Hopefully I can see some of my EdTech friends there.
Join me and we can talk about robots!

Our final VEX robotics tournament in Thailand of the 2024-25 season. We won the excellence award, were tournament champions and won the sportsmanship award. A great end to an amazing season. Onto the world championships in Texas! #Robotics #stem #STEMeducation

How might you build a security robot?
I’ve asked my HS Robotics 2 students to create a sentry bot that can patrol and area autonomously and driver controlled. I asked that it have a ‘threat response.’ One group took that idea and ran with it!

A great weekend for ISBangkok HS robotics program at the Thailand national tournament. Our teams won the tournament, skills, and sportsmanship awards.
So proud of everyone and all their hard work. Onto Worlds in Texas. We’ll see you in May! #robotics #stem #education

Hi friends, I've got a website, with some videos and whatnot for my teaching, if you're into that sort of thing.
Feel free to check it out. I haven't found a way to fit the URL into my profile here yet.

It's Saturday a week before our VEX Robotics National Championship. I told the kids I'd be here from 11-4 if they want to work.
There were 3 teams there waiting for me, and now there's a ton of kids here working. A parent offered to get the kids pizza. It's a great vibe. #robotics #vex #stem

I had my HS design students “roughly sketch a 3D building or structure.”
Then I randomly distributed their sketches and asked them try and build the design with LEGOs. Then talk to the designer about how they brought their vision to life. Some cool results.

A HS student’s Medbot, delivering medication to different rooms in a hospital mock up.
Almost there. It’s speedy but not too precise. Yet.

Throwback to one of my favorite engineering projects to do with middle schoolers. Make a cardboard chair that can support a student. Bonus if it can support me.

Thailand VEX robotics nationals! Here we go! 6 teams that have been building and testing their robots since August (April in some cases).
Now let’s see how we do against the rest of Thailand.

Spent the week with 7th graders in Kui Buri national park working to help support farmers and wild elephants. Next weekend is VEX robotics nationals. Never a dull moment.
