This allowed me to satisfy my need to understand how things work and foster the same curiosity in others. My wish is that this will inspire others to make the world a better place.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceA student’s mother told me that my class was a place her son felt safe to be in and felt like he belonged. She told me this with tears in her eyes shortly before he graduated. He has since returned to visit and tell me about college life.
What would you do with the $25,000?This is not about the money for me. I really want to meet and have a visit from Bill Nye. This would be simply amazing. I would use all of it to buy things for class (3d printers, robotics stuff, laser cutter) and travel expenses for our Technology Student Association chapter.
