Let's talk robotics with Dr Damien Kee

Eps: 6 In today’s episode I talk to Dr Damien Kee! He is a passionate Educational Technologies advocate, who specialises in bringing technology concepts to teachers and educators around the world. With a focus in Robotics, Programming and Electronics, he works to educate teachers on the benefits and relative ease with which technology can be embedded into their daily classroom activities. Damien offers a variety of engaging and educational incursions for students, as well as relevant and practical Professional Development for teachers.

He is also the author of multiple Teacher Resource Books. These books are designed to give novice teachers the materials and confidence to successfully implement a robotics program within their school.

Such a great talk, apologies for the couple of internet issues at the end and also my cockatiel talking along! All part of working from home with covid!
