KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
I have designed and developed a platform to serve learners on the national scale in Iran , especially during the pandemic. The platform delivered online sessions and other forms of educational materials, to compliment the hands on project crates that were shipped to doorsteps. Aligned with our mission of promoting constructionism and project based learning, we were able to add chapters to the nationally taught resources used in high school classrooms.
I have also worked as part of a team that designed and developed construction kits to be integrated into classrooms across the US, to help with development of computational and problem solving skills of learners. Those kits are now commercially available.
I have mastered a second language, lived and worked on two sides of the planet, and am raising three human beings.
