STEM Education & Mentoring

Robotics mentoring, curriculum and hands-on instruction — including First Lego League coaching going back decades.

Also known as FLL, First Lego League, Robotics Mentoring, Curriculum

Left to right is time. Each row is one of the 3 disciplines this one worked alongside, ordered so kindred disciplines sit next to each other rather than alphabetically — a landscape only means anything if neighboring rows belong together. Height is the work running in that domain in that year, weighted by what failure would have cost — life-safety ×3, a statutory obligation ×2.2, the estate itself ×1.5, an evaluation ×1. Every project declares which of those it was, so each ridge traces to an entry you can open and disagree with. Only the work that used this technology is counted, so what shows here is the company it kept rather than the record around it. Height and color are on the record-wide scale rather than this page’s own, so a modest estate draws a modest landscape and any two of these pages can be read against each other.

Ongoing STEM education and robotics mentoring through Young Tech Systems and, before it, MYT. First Lego League mentoring for robot programming appears in resumes going back well over a decade, alongside YMCA youth basketball coaching and middle school scorekeeping.

Teaching sits alongside the digital equity work rather than apart from it: the pilots that brought home internet into the lowest-income neighborhoods of Jacksonville were paired with devices and with people who could show residents what to do with them.
