Embracing Your Inner Nerd; Wild Adventures in Technology was the title of my presentation to students (and some parents and teachers) at the Concord Carlisle High School this evening. To promote careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), I shared my career journey, dispensed advice, demonstrated a couple of robots, and showed off the Emmy Award I accepted for early work in computer-based video. I was quite pleased that Nicolai, who was among the audience, enjoyed the talk and did not feel that I had embarrassed him.
