Philip's Corner
Sleeves rolled up, printer humming, curious people drifting in and out. This is a working garage for Quarkmine experiments, student guides, and reflections on the frontier of AI and energy. Step in, look around, pick up a tool.
Stations
Everything here is in motion. Each station is a snapshot of what students, collaborators, and late-night curiosities are orbiting right now.
Engineering & Quarkmine
Microcontrollers, sensors, and a drawer of 3D printed parts. The projects here are messy, fast, and full of “what if we…?” energy.
Teaching & Guides
Guides are written like studio notes: step-by-step, practical, and optimistic. They are meant to be used with sleeves rolled up.
Projects in the Wild
Energy storage experiments, community meetups, and AI tools that feel like co-teachers. Nothing is static for long.
Philip's Notes
Lab notebook honesty: what worked, what broke, and the questions still buzzing. Expect sketches, prompt scraps, and voice memos translated into text.
Shop log
Quick snapshots of what is getting attention this week. Think of it as the whiteboard right before class starts.
Now
Rehearsing AI radio prompts with Wendy's listeners and refining the on-air cheat sheet.
This month
Building a “tools of the trade” kit for Micro:bit + Motor Hat clinics.
Coming up
Drafting a Quarkmine zine about energy storage experiments and student-led repairs.
Grab-and-go resources that keep popping up in conversation.
Micro-updates saved between classes.
“AI tools are best when they whisper, not shout.”
“Kids trust a jig that looks used.”
“Document the why, not just the wiring.”
Open invitation
If you have a classroom that needs a fresh build, a radio segment to plan, or a student who wants to prototype the impossible, let's start with one conversation.
