Paul Masterson is a Hardware Support Technician in the School of Computer Science & Statistics in Trinity College Dublin. Part of his remit is to keep the course Microprocessor kits up to date. From this he has recognised the importance of using kits like Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the Sesca robot kits from Mechatrons to educate and entertain learners big and small, young and old.
“The excitement in the faces of young coders when they first see our robots and the joy when they complete the challenges we set out for them makes all the effort and solder burns we endure worthwhile”.
Paul has given robotics workshops in various venues and in his spare time he is a mentor with CoderDojo Cavan.
