Technology Solutions Highlights

Anthony Nadeau

Secondary-level Computer Science Instructor and Course Designer

A concise portfolio of my work in educational technology, with a focus on software development, fabrication, robotics, and STEM learning.

About me

I help students build strong foundations in technology and problem-solving.

I design hands-on learning experiences that help students build confidence, think critically, and use technology with purpose. My work focuses on making computer science and maker activities practical, engaging, and relevant to their future.

Portrait of Anthony Nadeau

My name is Anthony Nadeau, and I have worked as a technology solutions specialist at Heritage Regional High School since 2023. I enjoy creating learning experiences that challenge students while giving them room to experiment and grow.

My background spans computer science, engineering, and STEM education, and I look for ways to turn those skills into projects that help students succeed. I am committed to refining my teaching practice so students leave with both technical knowledge and the confidence to use it.

Education is central to my career, and I continue looking for opportunities to grow within technology and learning. My goal is to make a positive impact by building tools, projects, and experiences that support students.

My core skillset

Here is a sample of the material I have taught and developed resources for.

For each of these subjects, I designed and delivered lessons, created custom resources and tools, and used student feedback to improve the learning experience.

Teaching ethos

My approach to teaching.

I believe students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process. I aim to create a classroom that is challenging and supportive, where students feel comfortable taking risks, exploring ideas, and using technology with purpose.

Engage students in active learning

I want students to take an active role in their learning. Questions, discussion, and hands-on exploration help them build ownership and curiosity.

Give them tools they can use

I value practical work that lets students test ideas, iterate, and connect concepts to real situations. My goal is to help them leave with skills they can apply beyond the classroom.

Encourage creativity and independence

Open-ended projects give students room to explore their interests, make decisions, and express ideas in original ways.

The iTec Expo is an annual showcase of student work. This app gave visitors a central place to browse projects, explore the floor plan, and share feedback.

More than 200 votes were recorded during each event, and the platform later evolved into a redesigned 2026 version with updated branding and scheduling support.

The 2026 version is available here (Designed for Mobile)

Creative Design

Arcade Project

Scroll the media strip to view more visuals.

The Arcade Project brought together design, fabrication, and game development. Over four months, students built games in Godot while I helped design the cabinet and the systems around it.

To support the event, I created a custom launcher that ran multiple student games from one computer and automatically configured the controllers for each title. At the 2026 Expo, that setup kept the showcase organized in one location.

This launcher let multiple student games run from one computer while automatically configuring the custom-built controllers for each title.

Students also had their pictures taken and edited in GIMP so they could be displayed alongside their work.

When physical resources were limited, I built a Minecraft: Education Edition addon that let students model and simulate digital logic circuits in a visual environment.

Using the in-game redstone system, students could build, test, and revise circuits while applying Boolean algebra concepts in a hands-on way.

The addon was released free of charge so other educators could use it in their classrooms.

The addon is available for download here.

I use 3D printing as a way to reinforce creativity, celebrate achievement, and build a shared identity within the program.

This work included custom arcade controllers, keychains, keycaps, trophies, and other student-centered projects.

TecMon was a summer volunteer project built with students to create a simple 2D creature-collector game in Godot.

The goal was to keep students building skills in a flexible, low-pressure environment while still working toward a shared release.

I keep a shared OneNote repository to organize future projects, trips, guest speakers, workshops, and program improvements.

That collaborative space helped program coordinators stay aligned and made it easy to capture ideas as the program evolved.
