Teaching

  • Biomechanics for Interactive Design
    I'm excited to be teaching this new course in the Spring of 2012 at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP).
  • Introduction to Physical Computing
    I was lucky enough to get the chance to teach this foundation course at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) for the first time during the Fall 2010 semester.
  • Mechanisms and Things That Move
    I teach this class at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) in the spring. Check out the work from students in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.
  • Columbia Secondary School
    On 3/18/2010 I taught two classes of 6th grade engineering on mechanical advantage, torque, and gear ratios. I was shocked at how engaged and intelligent those 11 and 12 year olds were!
  • Greenfab with The Bronx Guild High School
    On 3/16/2010 I went up to GreenFab for an exciting afternoon build session on wind turbines. Greenfab is a collaborative effort between Vision Education and Media, Sustainable South Bronx, NYU's ITP, and The Bronx Guild High School.
  • Lego Mindstorms for Kids
    In the spring of 2007 I taught a 10 week long class at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan to just two 8 year old autistic boys. It was so amazing to see them relate to the material, create, program, and watch their robots move!
  • Robots for Beginners
    In early 2007 I co-taught this class with friend and former co-worker Larry Parrington at Robot Village. One of the students ended up at NYU's ITP! I'm sad this store has since closed, it was a great little robot store.
