Xavier Choiniere

Hello! I have a passion for many different things in life. I’ve always been a curious one and I love to learn new things with every single chance I can grasp. I’ve explored the world of music, painting and of course programming and its many aspects, which I love the most. As much as I love to learn, I also love to help others learn a thing or two, especially for the minds of the younger generation. I’ve loved sharing my passion with kids for the last 7 years now!
Kian Mokhtarian
Middle/Senior teacher
Hello! It is an honour to be able to teach robotics to tomorrow’s leaders! Years ago, I remember being the young curious kid diving into the world of robotics and testing the waters for myself. I spent years learning on my own and even competed in some competitions with my high school! I moved on to other hobbies like studying invertebrates and writing – but passions and interests have a way of finding you once again. After all these years I can once again share my knowledge and passion with others, introducing them to all the endless wonders that robotics has to offer!
