| 5 things you do regularly in your job |
|
| What made you decide to do this type of job? (teacher/ role model etc) | I have always enjoyed making things, and was supported at school by my General Science teacher, who let me build and research projects during my lunchtimes in his prep room. |
| How did you get to where you are now? | Not being afraid to follow my heart, and doing work in areas I find inspiring. |
| What motivates you? | Designing and creating ideas, in electronics and software. I also get very motivated working with people who are willing to give it a go. |
| Any other info? E.g. activities you have done with schools, what you can offer schools etc. |
I design and provide workshops for Schools, primarily in the areas of robotics, electronics, and digital media systems I can offer a wide range of workshops that suit a wide range of ages. From simple circuit robotics workshops to designing and building multi point environmental data logging systems with internet based reporting. I also work with mobile devices and have created many interactive mobile phone based systems. I am also very keen to listen to what you the school would like to have and can design and deliver workshops to your own specifications
