DR MARIA LOW

Hi there! My name is Dr Maria Low. I have more than 18 years of educational facilitation experience and more than 12 years of editorial and instructional design experience. My editorial works includes textbook-workbook submissions to Ministry of Education (MOE) for approval, educational books and Teachers’ Resource Package on Maths and Science for Primary and Secondary levels. I facilitate STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) activities and lessons with children and teens as an Academic Coach. I had designed more than 50 STEAM programmes for Primary and Secondary students in enrichment centres.

NG KIN MENG

Hi there! My name is Kin Meng, I have had a strong passion for coding and tinkering since I was 13. I love to impart my knowledge and help eager students to realise the power of programming. I have thorough experience in block-based programming languages using Scratch and Micro:bit, as well as text-based programming languages such as Python. Aside from programming, I can play the piano and I enjoy rugby!

BILLY WAN

Empathy and guidance are values that will silently encourage us to persevere in our learning journey. Learning through our daily challenges’ ups and downs helps us grow into stronger people.

My name is Billy, being a witness and a recipient myself of these values, I seek to share my knowledge and experience with the same values in contributing to the learning journey of young people. A self-profess technology enthusiast and an electronic hobbyist, engineering has been the very skill that greatly shaped me with abilities that will always be valued moving into the future.

RAVI SINGARAM

Hello! I’m R Singaram, your Robot Operating System (ROS) and a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) trainer! I have also been a STEM trainer since 2017 and taught children’s robots like Lego Mindstorms EV3, WeDo 2.0 and mBot as well as electronics like microbit, Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

I have also taught RPA to adults and used ROS extensively in security robotics. I see the need for our young ones to make an early step toward automation and industrial robotics to see their brilliant ideas take shape on a larger scale!
