Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Shiloh is a hands-on educator and engineer blending 11+ years of academic practice with decades of embedded-systems, hardware, and open-source experience. As Professor of Practice of Interactive Media and longtime Arduino educator, he teaches people to prototype electrical, mechanical, and electronic contraptions that deliberately invite others to replicate them. His background spans device drivers, Linux, fabrication, welding, and mechatronics, and he co-founded MakingThings and Teach Me To Make to bridge industry tools with classroom practice. An advocate for the maker movement and low-volume manufacturing, he investigates how accessible fabrication reshapes why and how we build things. He is a prolific workshop leader and community builder—from the Exploratorium to international conferences—who emphasizes ethical resource use and sharing knowledge. Notably, his work intentionally privileges approachable construction so observers think, "I could make that," turning complex engineering into teachable, playful artifacts.
