Learning Design

Curriculum, Tools, and PD for Teachers

Van Loo Learning Design is the education arm of Bill Van Loo’s practice. It builds curriculum, classroom tools, and teacher-focused professional development fore educators. The work draws on two decades in K–12 and college classrooms, on FIRST robotics competition fields, and in the maker spaces where students learn through hands-on practice.
