NerdKits - The Team

We started NerdKits as MIT students looking to share our experience in an educational way, and to help lower the barrier to entry into this field. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology gave us theoretical preparation, with classes like:

While the sites linked above have lots of good technical information, they're also designed for MIT students with a lot of mathematical background, and are always complemented with textbooks and problem-solving sessions. We've tried to distill that information down in a way that makes it easier to get started.

Humberto Evans

Humberto graduated from MIT with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. While a student, he has worked at the MIT Media Lab and NetCracker Technology. He has significant experience in software engineering, and has also completed extensive coursework on digital electronics design.

At NerdKits, Humberto is responsible for the educational materials, making sure our kits are well-documented and easy to use.

Mike Robbins

Mike graduated from MIT with a degree in Electrical Science and Engineering, and is now a graduate student in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He has worked on both the software and hardware aspects of aerial autonomous robotics projects, including work at the MIT Aerospace Controls Laboratory and Draper Laboratory.

At NerdKits, Mike is responsible for technical development of the kits, bringing years of expertise to bear toward making a useful starter package.

Whether you've already got a NerdKit or have a few questions, we're happy to help. Feel free to e-mail us at
