Meet Samir Abukhodair
- Founder, Creatures Of
I’m Samir, an experienced engineer turned passionate educator. With over a decade of work in the tech field, I have a strong foundation in problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical skills. However, along my journey, I discovered a deep passion for teaching and a desire to make a positive impact on the lives of children.
I hold a Mechanical Engineering Degree from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, where I gained a comprehensive understanding of math, science and problem solving. This academic background, coupled with my practical industry experience, allows me to provide a unique perspective to my students.
My teaching philosophy centers around fostering a love for learning in children of all types, with a particular focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. I believe that these fields hold tremendous potential for young minds and are key to preparing them for the future. By incorporating hands-on experiments, interactive activities, and real-world examples, I strive to make STEM subjects accessible, engaging, and exciting for my students.
In addition to my passion for STEM, I have a profound enthusiasm for reading, history and art. I firmly believe in the power of interdisciplinary learning, and I integrate these subjects into my lessons to make them more holistic and enriching. Whether it's conducting exciting science experiments, exploring captivating literature, or encouraging creative expression through art, I aim to inspire my students to see the connections between different disciplines and nurture their curiosity about the world.
