2024 is taking off at light speed! This has been a wild year so far, and I never know what's coming around the corner. One thing I do know... There is a major shortage of skilled machinists. Interest in our trade is building traction, and I want to be a part of that. Starting in June 2024, I will continue my student outreach to include in-person education through segment courses and/or specific lessons. These courses will cater to young children from the age of 10, all the way to young engineers. The goal of these in-person courses is to allow personalized, hands-on instruction. Want to learn how to set up a 3-axis mill, and everything that's involved? Want to learn how to effectively make tooling choices with proper speeds and feeds? Maybe you just want to learn how to program in SurfCam or Espirit? Our doors will be open to these courses. Most will have a cost, but some will be free STEM lessons for young children!

🦾 The future of RoboEducation 🦾 Can you imagine an education that would support school children with industrial automation from an early age? Classrooms transformed into innovation labs with robotic arms! These tools are not just for engineers. They provide automation, programming and hands-on learning for students of all ages. 🎓💡 By programming robotic arms, students delve into STEM, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It's a hands-on approach to education, connecting classroom theory to the real world. 🌐🔧 From primary school to university, robotics arms make STEM subjects engaging and relevant, preparing students for tomorrow's technology-driven job market. Let's give our future innovators the skills they need to succeed. 🚀🔬 Credit 💳: Hiwonder, Hiwonder Pte Ltd. Reza Shah Mohammadi

Perfect Observation.      When I returned from the US, I decided not to come online. I did not even have a social media account. From 2008 to 2015, I traveled over Tamil Nadu, visited more than 100 Engineering colleges, and met over 10,000 Electronics students. I encountered a bottleneck. Colleges refused me because I made the subject very simple. Students are under the h.........s of the colleges. I was unable to access them.      I started to write books in Tamil about Electronics and published them. This also failed because engineering students did not want to read books in regional languages or from local authors. I spent lots of money, time, and effort to find that the Embedded Systems field was easy. But no takers. The Tier-3 and Lower Tier-2 college students refuse to accept my concepts. Because they were brainwashed by the system that CGPA and Certificate would get a job. I know that most Tier-1 and Upper Tier-2 college students will accept my theory. They are already in top colleges with good professors and with good money. So, I visited Tier-3 and Lower Tier-2 colleges and took classes in Tamil. Nothing worked.      In 2015, I sat in a room and discussed this with my daughter and son. I explained to them that I reached the end of the tunnel and there was no light. The very people for whom I was working refused to accept me. So, I was thinking about what to do next. That time, my daughter suggested I start writing on Social media. I told her that my English was not good. She asked me to write answers to Quora Questions in Notepad. She corrected it. Then, I posted the same on Quora. The following day, when I opened Quora, I got 100s student responses.      During Covid, some students asked me to start taking online classes. I did. Within a few months, I had to close that due to my throat problem. Later, I joined a consultant at Infineon. Since my online class recorded videos were available on Google Drive, I decided to share them for free with the students. It got good responses from Tier-1 and Upper Tier-2 students only. Unless the students who liked or benefitted from my course take this to Tier-3 and Lower Tier-2 college students, that will not reach them.      As usual, a few months back, some students suggested I start posting on LinkedIn. I did that and got more than 40000 followers today.      Once again, students suggested I upload the videos to YouTube, and I did. At least now I know that Tier-3 and Lower Tier-2 students will watch my videos and accept my theory that Embedded Systems are very easy. This required simple practice. Even 1st-year students from Tier-3 and Lower Tier-2 colleges can quickly learn. Their English and my English are the same.      Finally, I request the students to please share my YouTube channel with Tier-3 and Tier-2 college students. It will benefit from them. Tier-3 and Lower Tier-2 students need good support. https://lnkd.in/gDgaAfXA All the best.

Northwest Arkansas Community College is now enrolling for the spring semester of its high school robotics program, designed to introduce students to advanced technologies. This fall, 12 students participated in the inaugural semester. Instructor Josh Watson anticipates higher enrollment in the spring, stating, "Any kind of growth is good, but I think we’re going to have bigger numbers next semester." The program launched in late summer, which limited fall enrollment as many students had already finalized their schedules. With greater awareness among students and counselors, the college expects stronger interest for spring. Open to juniors and seniors, the program also welcomes applications from freshmen and sophomores, according to Chris Lynch, NWACC's director of advanced technologies. The program offers an exciting opportunity for high schoolers to explore robotics and gain hands-on experience in a growing field. Read more: https://lnkd.in/edYBUeE9

TWO HOURS OF WORK FOR A YEAR OF LEARNING For the past five years, I've been refining a series of posters that break down the prefixes and base units of the International System of Units (SI). What started as a simple classroom aid has evolved into a key learning tool that helps my students develop a deep understanding of units and measurements. The posters are designed with clarity and structure in mind. By placing the prefixes before the units, my students can easily see how different measurements are formed. A small white line separates the prefixes that increase the unit's value from those that decrease it, making it visually clear and easy to understand. Each poster also differentiates types of information through color coding: one color for prefixes, another for their meanings, one for the physical quantities, the corresponding units, and finally, the measurement devices. This color-coded system helps students quickly reference and comprehend the material throughout the year. What’s particularly rewarding is seeing how this consistent visual aid has become a fixture in my classroom. Each year, as I reprint and improve these posters, I notice the long-term impact they have on my students. They not only grasp the concepts more quickly but also retain the information more effectively, which is especially beneficial when they transition to the International Baccalaureate Physics program. For me, it’s two hours of preparation for a year of learning. #MakeTeachingAmazing #KSIBproud
