As a fellow member of NELUG, I’ve worked with Teddy on quite a few projects.
Teddy’s role in NELUG has always been an incredibly positive one. Perhaps most
recently, for the past two years, he’s taken on the task of organizing the
Moonbase display at the Brick Blast event in Middlebury, VT, with his own
quadruple-sized module as the crowning centerpiece (also shown at BrickFest
2006). It helped inspire local kids to build and display their own modules at
the following 2007 Brick Blast event.
I think the most inspiring work of Teddy’s to me was something I wasn’t even
present for, however. As a math professor, Teddy’s worked in Lego to his
classroom curriculum for several projects. As a bit of a math geek myself, I
found his approach to teaching students about Calculus with Lego to be a great
way to get even college kids interested in what is often regarded as a rather
dry subject (sorry, it’s true!) and (I like to imagine) more involved in the
class.
All in all, I think Teddy would make a great addition to the Ambassador team-- I
think he could add a different perspective to the program, and I have no doubt
that he would do all of us AFOL’s proud.
