James is a computer engineer who loves to share his enthusiasm for creating things with his kids. He’s a tenacious problem solver, and loves to dig in to new design and engineering challenges. James helps his children make cool stuff, whether it’s working together to make a laser maze or helping them set up the website for their own bakery just shy of their 10th birthday, he’s always at their side asking, ‘How can I help?’ James loves science, particularly physics and astronomy, and has a particular talent for making complicated concepts sound simple and unintimidating. He couldn’t be more thrilled for the opportunity to share his boundless enthusiasm for science and engineering with a wider audience.
Class List
Meant for the older beginner, this class will progress from an unplugged approach to Computer Science that introduces the basics of logic, functions and variables to beginning projects in C, and perhaps other languages based on student goals and interests. This is a great class for students possibly interested in joining next year’s FIRST Tech Challenge team, or looking to become ‘code literate’ in their daily life. There is a $40 supply fee for this class, and students are encouraged to bring their own laptops if they have them.

Join the IfSpace Invaders, our premier middle and high school robotics competition team! FTC is like a sports team for robots – each year, the FIRST organization dreams up a new challenge for our bot. We work as a team to strategize how to score the most points, design our mechanisms, assemble and tune the robot, CAD new parts and pieces, and program its operation. You don’t have to be an experienced roboticist to join FTC, however! We need team managers, graphic designers, team spirit leaders, historians, and all around hard workers to be successful as a group!
