Joel Bianchi is a seasoned computer science and engineering educator in New York with over a decade of experience designing hands-on STEM curricula and leading robotics programs that scale student participation and inclusivity. He directs Engineering at Energy Tech HS, rewrites AP and Java labs to prioritize student discovery, and has rebuilt an FRC team from 15 to 60 students while boosting female participation to 40%. His background spans interdisciplinary engineering, secondary math and physics education (two M.Ed. degrees), and practical fabrication, electronics, and programming instruction from Arduino to Processing. Joel consistently connects classroom learning to community impact through senior design projects and service-learning partnerships, and he regularly recruits industry mentors to extend real-world pathways for students. Less obvious: he blends rigorous academic course adaptation (including college-credit articulation) with competitive robotics strategy, fundraising, and large-scale student event coordination.
