Howdy! I'm Owen. I'm working on converting my experiences to the highest advantage of others. Currently, I view large scale education reform (specifically increasing agency and curiosity) and space infrastructure (towards ensuring democratic and ethical commercialization of space resources) as the two best ways for me to be useful. I currently live in Brooklyn with my wonderful partner. I grew up in SF and am back from time to time. If you're in New York, I'd be delighted to walk around the navy yard with you and talk about hard problems. Email me by replacing the first dot with @. Online projects:

• Opensuit (metamaterial fabrics for MCP I/EVA spacesuits and medical compression garments)
• Photography (newest first)
• SFHC Solstice Torch 🕳️
• Pickle Party (We've hosted one, planning to do more)

Projects in progress / in need of documentation:

• Tritium Calculator Watch
  My calculator watch doesn't have a backlight, so I added very small vials of tritium gas lined with a phosphor around the display
• The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Tinkering in Natural Learning
  [Essay I've been slowly writing to consolidate my experiences and arguments on education reform, child development, learning, and teaching]
• Quantum Bogosort Advocacy Coalition
  [R&D/coworking space in the brooklyn navy yard]
• Future Education Research Institute
  [R&D/coworking/K-12/grad-school working group]
• Tinkering School Mars Missions
  Some of my friends and I made a telerobotics based summer camp (with the most accurate/immersive simulated Mars environment in the world), and we wrote a book about it
• Magnetic Implant
  I have a magnetic implant in my left ring finger, which my brain has now adopted as an extra sense. In certain places, I can feel the subway through the sidewalk
