Teaching

  • Undergraduate
    • Teaching assistant for General Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
    • Grader for Statics at CMU.
  • K-12/Informal
    • Columbia Secondary School
      In March 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
      In March 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.
