🚨Staff Appreciation Post: Trust me when I say there is nothing like reliable, professional and knowledgeable staff! I simply communicate the vision for our business, goals and objectives and they lead the mission. To my fellow business owner, flexibility is key when building a strong team. They are our 1 call, that’s all. They exude trustworthiness and when I’m away, I don’t have to worry about anything and that’s a rarity; - that brings me peace! I don’t just post about it, I show appreciation!

A huge thank you to one of our proud partners Asia Pacific Language School for their continued support of our Robotics & Coding Summer Camp once again. We wrapped our final session of the season this week and it was great seeing new and old faces. There is nothing more rewarding than walking through the corridors and hearing children erupting with cheer because “Mr. Robot Man” is here!
Today is National Intern Day! Thank you to University of Washington, Seattle University and Bellevue College for the partnerships we’ve forged with your internship department! Our programming would not be possible without the expertise of your students!

🤝🏾 MEET OUR FOUNDER | CEO - RODERICK S. DAMPIER
Roderick embarked on this quest over 20 years ago in a computer lab at his elementary school in small town Prentiss, Mississippi where he ascertained that learning is not a destination rather an ODYSSEY! While utilizing the MS-DOS operating system to code on an antiquated IBM machine and printing on a dot matrix printer; subsequently, he unearthed an aptitude for computing.
By profession he is a Computer Scientist and brings over a decade of expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, flight simulation, people/project management, game development, model-based systems engineering, industrial engineering and consulting services. As a Certified S.T.E.M. educator specializing in robotics; Roderick has a deep passion for education and is a huge proponent of the positive ripple effects of S.T.E.M. learning in early childhood education.
He enjoys the outdoors, fitness, travel, food, culture and all things tech! His philosophy is that individuals who: engage in the engineering design process, learn how to code in various IDE tools, apply growth mindset concepts and identify solutions to real-world problems are ingenious and well-equipped for global citizenship!
