Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmon Millner is a professor of computing and innovation at Olin College who builds playful, tangible technologies and programs that bring computing to learners aged roughly 9–12. He directs the EASE Lab and co-invented influential learning tools—having helped shape Scratch at the MIT Media Lab and later co-created Unruly Splats, Bluetooth light-up floor tiles that turn physical play spaces into programmable learning environments. His work bridges formal school-day interventions and after-school, intergenerational STEM programs, and he often operationalizes early-age computational thinking frameworks in settings as diverse as hip-hop dance camps. A Fulbright Specialist with patents co-authored alongside teenage inventors and industry veterans, he blends deep research (PhD from MIT) with hands-on product and curriculum design. Based in Boston, he pairs academic leadership with ongoing entrepreneurial practice at Unruly Studios and Modkit roots, focusing on equitable access to STEM through embodied, community-centered experiences.
