Teacher+Bio

Steve Farnsworth

I am a progressive educator with a BA in English Literature from [|Kenyon College] and a Masters in Education from [|Bank Street College of Education]. I've been teaching for 20+ years, most of it at progressive independent schools in NYC. My robotics experience began when I started teaching a Lego robotics system called Control Lab to middle school girls at a private school. Ever since then, I have been teaching students and teachers of all ages how to build and program Lego robots and other robotics systems such as [|Handy Crickets] and [|Pico Crickets].

I also teach week-long intensive robotics workshops to teachers from around the world for the [|Logo Foundation]. Founded by Michael Tempel, the [|Logo Foundation] is a wonderful resource for everything to do with the Logo programming language, including [|MicroWorlds] and numerous robotics systems.
