Samkeet Shah

With over 6 years of experience in STEM, Robotics, and AI education, I specialize in designing and delivering innovative learning experiences for students and educators across IB and CBSE schools. I am passionate about empowering learners through hands-on robotics, coding, AI, and IoT, and helping them succeed in national and international competitions.

My expertise lies in curriculum design, teacher training, embedded systems, and project-based learning, combined with strong skills in Python, Scratch, and sensor-based programming. Beyond teaching, I thrive on mentoring students, leading cross-functional teams, and integrating technology into real-world problem-solving.

I believe in making technology accessible, engaging, and impactful for learners of all ages.
