As an MIT Mechanical Engineer, I have devoted much time to and received much pleasure from teaching. This page should highlight some of my experience teaching as well as a number of educational projects.

Contracted to Teach Excel Workshop
January, 2012 This was for science teachers at Prospect Hill Academy. In addition to the workshop I also made a custom grading tracking program for student progress analysis, now downloaded over 2,000 times a year. Check it out here if interested.
Mechanics of Unicycling K12 Video
January 2012 I made a Mechanics of Unicycling k12 Video for MIT with over 6,000 views.
Physics Education Research
Summer 2011 As part of MIT's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, I made significant contributions to MIT RELATE's online mechanics course. MIT RELATE offered a free mechanics course during both Spring and Summer 2012. I helped generate and code problems, wrote a coding manual, conducted research on student learning, and analyzed using Python the effectiveness of LON-CAPA. Many of the problems I created are now used in EdX.

Teaching Samples
Fall 2011 If you enjoyed the short Mechanics of Unicycling k12 Video, you might enjoy this whole hour class I taught on the topic. There's also a whole page devoted to the physics of balance.
And please check the engineering page or enthusiast page for other projects.
