Professional Experience

  • Taught STEM Robotics of the RPCS STEM Institute, where students programmed robots, using
    Lego NXT Mindstorm, to ultimately navigate through a real-life course simulating challenges the
    Mars Rover faced on Mars
     

  • Introduced the tool-based student-team project, Construct an Antenna, into the STEM 1A:
    Robotics Course. Students used power drills, pliers, screwdrivers, hammers to shape copper wiring,
    construct phasing bars, drill holes, and attach bolts, to create a functional TV antenna to familiarize
    students with construction and develop a fundamental understanding of the basic communication
    between the Mars Rover and NASA ground control
     

  • Developed an introduction to circuitry student project, Paper Circuits. Students used copper tape,
    coin-cell batteries, and mini LEDs to build circle graphs where each section of the circle graph lit up
    independently of the remaining sections of the graph
     

  • Collaborated with colleagues to innovatively design and implement two project-based STEM courses,
    Robotics – Self Autonomous Vehicles and Statistical Analysis
