Product Realization Lab Teaching Assistant

I worked as a teaching assistant in the Stanford Product Realization Lab from 2022-2024, where I wore a lot of hats! I spent 20 hours/week staffing the lab, split between the machine shop, wood shop, foundry, and general makerspace. As a part of my job, I taught students how to use equipment in all areas of the lab, and in the process got tons of hands-on experience with the machines.

As a teaching assistant, I also coached small groups of students in the core design and manufacturing class, working with them throughout the 10 week quarter to develop products of personal meaning and figure out how to best design and manufacture those objects.
