Eric has taught science, health, outdoor skills, tool use and building design to young people since 2001, with a focus on fostering a connection between students, the natural world and the communities they are helping to build. He is happiest mucking through swamps, following a compass bearing or rigging up some wild contraption out of parts and pieces of old machines to study the workings of the universe. He also loves to sit around a fire, talking about ideas, understanding and inspirations. Student empowerment, creativity, exploration, and a strong connection to everyday life are as important as an adherence to good science and evidence-based belief in his class. Above all, he believes that a teacher’s main job is to help connect each student with their own, unique brilliance and passions.
