Jeremy Fielding My goal is simple. Draw people to engineering with amazing projects; Inspire them with ideas; Then teach them how to do it. I am fascinated with all things mechanical, but most of my projects require multiple disciplines so I also cover electronics, motors, and programming regularly.
