Amanda Gray, Learning Experience Coordinator
Amanda is a veteran educator striving to inspire all teachers and students to be curious, get excited about making mistakes, and to never stop learning. Before joining BirdBrain Technologies, her 10 years of teaching adventures included K-8 Music in Alaska, 6-8 Band, STEM, and Robotics in Tennessee and spending two years as a Technology Integration Coach. Along the way, she became enthralled with Computer Science Education and finding meaningful ways to integrate computational thinking and physical computing into all subject areas.
Tom Lauwers, Ph.D., Founder & CTO
Tom founded BirdBrain Technologies in 2010 after receiving his doctorate in robotics from Carnegie Mellon University. His research was founded on engaging all students, regardless of background, in robotics and engineering. Tom seeks to design educational tools that catalyze positive making, coding, and engineering learning experiences in the classroom. Tom resides in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood with his wife, two kids, cat, and a small army of robots. He would be an invaluable ally in the event of a robot uprising.
