As an educator he has worked with multiple age groups, ranging from ages 3 – 18yrs, and multiple subject areas including, core academics, Special Needs, and STEM. He also holds multiple professional licenses in education and Masters in Special Needs and Counseling. In recent years Dan has been an international teacher working in South America creating STEM programs for multiple schools. In addition to his contributions to the classroom, Dan has also served as coach for sports and robotics teams. His most recent accomplishments as a robotics coach includes leading teams to national and world appearances in First Lego League robotics competitions, in Chile and Peru. Dan is a passionate life-long learner that started his journey into teaching STEM by accident. As someone who likes to tinker and make things, his curiosity in robotics and CAD caught the eye of others and eventually turned into his day job. “I imagine some might assume the focus of my classroom is programming and robotics but it's really about people, teaching our kids how to work as members of a team, accept mistakes as valuable learning opportunities, and most importantly to learn about themselves. The high interest nature of robotics seems to do a good job keeping the kids engaged, sometimes challenging them to manage their frustrations or develop a new perspective applying their creativity to find solutions for the tech hiccups that naturally occur in robotics. It's a wonderful experience seeing a young mind acquire new skills in robotics but to see them develop a better understanding of self and improved problem-solving skills is the ultimate."
