David Chu is a Mathematics and Technologies teacher at Emmaus Christian College, SA. He is passionate about encouraging and inspiring students to take on a mindset where they are co-creators of technology, not mere consumers of it.
Over the past 2 years, David has devoted significant time to develop student focused, cross-curricular Makerspace capabilities at Emmaus Christian College; A place where students can come together to use and learn to use materials as well as develop creative projects.
