About the store
Welcome to my TPT store!
I’m a longtime robotics teacher with almost two decade of hands-on experience in the classroom. Over the years, I found myself creating nearly all of my own lessons, activities, worksheets, and assessments—simply because quality robotics resources were hard to find. I know firsthand how much time, energy, and heart teachers pour into their students every day.
That’s why I started this store: to give back to hardworking educators by sharing the materials I’ve crafted, tested, and refined with real students. My resources are designed to be clear, engaging, classroom-ready, and aligned with the real challenges teachers face when introducing robotics, engineering, and coding concepts.
Whether you’re brand new to robotics or have been teaching it for years, I hope these lessons make your planning easier and your students’ learning even more exciting.

The robot works — but the code is bad.This worksheet teaches students to recognize that difference. Students analyze programs that technically behave correctly but include redundant checks, unnecessary blocks, and inefficient structure. They predict behavior, test it, and explain why the code works — and why it’s still poorly designed. This is where students start thinking like real programmers, not just robot operators.

Teaching style
I believe that all children can learn when we take the time to understand what’s holding them back and help them see the “why” behind each step. Too often, we’re rushed and end up teaching shortcuts rather than building true understanding. My approach focuses on slowing down, identifying learning obstacles, and guiding students through the reasoning that makes concepts stick. When students grasp the purpose behind what they’re doing, their confidence—and their learning—skyrockets.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Some of my proudest accomplishments come from the curriculum I’ve created over the years. Whether I was teaching math intervention, launching a brand-new engineering course, or implementing computer science for the first time on my campus, I thrived on developing everything my students needed to succeed. From supplemental lessons and worksheets to hands-on activities, quizzes, and full unit tests—I built complete, classroom-ready materials from the ground up.
Seeing students grow in confidence because of resources I created has been one of my greatest joys as an educator. Those moments of “I get it!” are the true rewards that continue to inspire the work I share here.
My own education history
I hold a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies and bring a strong, well-rounded foundation to every resource I create. My broad certification background has allowed me to teach and design curriculum across multiple grade levels and subjects. My certifications include:
Technology Applications (EC–12)
Generalist (4–8)
Mathematics (4–8)
Generalist (EC–4)
Technology Education (6–12)
English as a Second Language Supplemental (EC–12)
In addition to my teaching certifications, I am also PLTW (Project Lead The Way) certified in multiple pathways, including:
Design and Modeling
Green Architecture
Automation and Robotics
Medical Detectives
Computer Science for Innovators and Makers
Introduction to Engineering Design
Principles of Engineering
Engineering Design and Development
This diverse training and hands-on experience shape the way I create resources—intentional, practical, cross-curricular, and designed to support students at all levels.
