Why This Matters for My Teaching

I’m part of Team Kraken on BattleBots, where I helped design and build combat robots.
​This real-world engineering shapes the way I teach students: design iteration, failure analysis, resilience, teamwork, and authentic constraints. My students love seeing the connection between classroom STEM and actual engineering challenges.
