Robotics Enthusiast & Maker Educator
About Adrian Bennett
In 2017, Adrian Bennett dismantled a $200 educational robot kit in front of a room of middle-schoolers, not to fix it, but to show how its proprietary firmware blocked student modifications. That moment sparked the OpenBolt Initiative: a community-driven effort to redesign robotics curricula around repairability, open-source microcontroller stacks, and hardware documentation written for 12-year-olds. Adrian doesn’t just teach wiring and code; they map soldering iron heat profiles to cognitive load theory, co-designed the 'Screwdriver First' pedagogy that delays coding until students can physically trace every signal path, and helped retrofit three underfunded school makerspaces with reclaimed industrial actuators and scrap aluminum frames. Their workshops reject plug-and-play kits in favor of salvaged drone motors, repurposed e-bike controllers, and schematics annotated with sticky-note questions from actual learners. This isn’t about democratizing access to tools, it’s about returning agency to the learner’s hands before the software even boots.
