The most efficient and supportive way for you to learn creative engineering skills, build a portfolio that stands out, and achieve your personal and professional goals!

LEARN THE ART AND ENGINEERING OF ANIMATRONICS

Creativity is an act. Every experience in the Engineering Artists community is about actually making something.

Unlike flashy celebrity-driven course platforms with pre-recorded video playlists where you don’t get direct access to the creator, I open up my workshop, software, notebooks and more to show you exactly how I research, plan, source materials, fabricate, code and more – step-by-step, LIVE, and in real-time – so you can create alongside me and chat during and in between live streams.

INTERACTIVE LIVE COURSES

Stop wasting time in the endless vortex of Youtube tutorials and still have nothing to show for it.  Accelerate your progress with exclusive lessons and hands-on exercises structured into effective, easy-to-follow paths designed for the DIY animatronics and robotics maker using low-cost, accessible materials that deliver believable results. Watch live and create-along or on-demand to fit your schedule. Get your hands dirty building real projects and learning from your mistakes, all while getting direct feedback from me and other members.

ENGINEERING ARTISTS COMMUNITY

Get the flexibility of online classes with the accountability of community. Learning alone is hard. Our creative side often takes a back seat to other commitments in life – work, family, errands, and an endless to-do list. Typical online classes are more accessible, but most people never progress after the last lesson. Our community is always there to help you get and stay motivated. Find inspiration, collaboration, and accountability with monthly challenges, practice drills and micro-projects to push you beyond your comfort zone and prioritize creativity.

CAN'T ALWAYS WATCH LIVE?

NO PROBLEM, WE'RE ALWAYS OPEN

Our live events supply an ever-growing collection of videos so you can watch whenever it’s convenient for you! Our community is open 24/7 and you’ll find us just as active between live events as during them – ask questions and learn from each other.

 You'll fit right in IF: 

You don’t want to learn alone and prefer a supportive community of like-minded individuals who help each achieve the next level.

You’re struggling to make progress using free tutorials that aren’t giving you the structure or clear path to achieving your goals.

You can’t or don’t want to go back to formal schooling with costly tuition but you’re ready to take the next step in your journey.

 We're not for you IF:  

You are mostly looking for short video playlists with more generalized theory and want to try and learn without actually building anything.

You’re not ready to invest in yourself and are looking for the cheapest way to learn. Want to learn animatronics for free? Check out our blog.

You’re all take and no give. We believe that helping and teaching others is one of the best and fastest ways to level-up your own skills.

EXPLORE & INVENT WITH ME

I’m a life-long STEAM enthusiast and backyard inventor with a passion for telling stories through my hands. It was through teaching and building projects on Youtube that I was discovered by Motor Trend and Science Channel (Discovery) to serve as a STEM educator and on-air expert.

I enjoy working on everything from art and workshop projects to electronics and technology. As a result, I’m able to connect with audiences in an authentic and relatable manner through personal stories, lessons learned and practical tips and advice not found on any script.
