Meet the Instructor
Nga Nguyen has been a Math and STEM facilitator with AUSD for 25 years, including 11 years running the Technology and Design (TAD) Lab at Wood Middle School. The TAD Lab provided middle school students with hands-on learning experiences, emphasizing the philosophy that failure is simply the “First Attempt In Learning” (FAIL). Nguyen encouraged students to build with a sustainability mindset, fostering innovation and responsibility. Before COVID, he also led the Middle Elementary Robotics League in Alameda, based out of the TAD Lab, where students competed in May using the FIRST Lego Robotics League framework.
