Previous experience
Before pursuing my PhD, I also worked as a robotic teacher at a local high-school. It was one of the most rewarding experiences. Students were exposed to mechanical and electronic prototyping, the first version of Lego Mindstorms, and Robocode. Later, I was very happy to meet some of these students at universities and even at international scientific conferences.
