I'm British, married to a French lady and living in the south of France. I have a degree in physics from Imperial College of Science and Technology, London (currently ranked second in the world!). I'm a teacher of physics and computer science - I've taught in a number of top international schools including:
* French American International School, San Francisco
* Hong Kong International School
* German-Swiss International School, Hong Kong
* British School of Brussels
* International School of Brussels
* European School 3, Brussels
* Centre International de Valbonne, France
* International School of Sophia Antipolis, France
* ICS School, Sophia Antipolis, France
In 2013 I began including robotics in my computer science courses. The robotics classes were based on the Lego EV3 robot and went very well, but I was uncomfortable about teaching students how to program the EV3 using such a quirky (icon-based) interface. In 2015 I became aware of ways of programming the EV3 using textual programming languages like Python, arguably the most popular programming language in the world. I realized that by programming the EV3 with Python one can learn about robotics and deepen one's Python skills at the same time, and Python skills are highly valued in he workplace. Not only that , but programming the EV3 with Python is great fun!
