STEM Instructor | Computer Engineer

Saniah Abdul Rahman

STEM educator with a computer engineering backbone—robotics, coding, and curriculum that actually lands in class.

I teach and build hands-on STEM experiences where students ship real things: robots that move, code that runs, and projects that connect to what they’re learning in school.

My lane sits between engineering and education: curriculum design, robotics/programming instruction, and classroom delivery that works for real teachers and real time limits.

Approach

Student-centered STEM learning, built for real classrooms

I design hands-on learning experiences that connect robotics and coding to core curriculum goals—so students build confidence and transferable problem-solving skills.

Project-based modules

Activities that feel like real engineering—scoped for students, aligned for schools.

Interdisciplinary mapping

STEM concepts connected horizontally across subjects to reinforce learning.

EdTech + accessibility

Tools and materials designed to meet diverse learners where they are.

STEM Instructor
MH Intellect
Aug 2025 — Present • UAE
  • Own day-to-day STEM program delivery as the School Point of Contact, partnering with school leadership to keep lessons aligned and consistent.
  • Design and teach hands-on sessions in programming, electronics, and robotics for secondary learners—adapting instruction for mixed-ability classrooms.
  • Build project-based modules that guide students through scoping, iteration, testing, and reflection (not just “following steps”).
  • Connect robotics activities to core curriculum objectives through cross-curricular mapping—so STEM reinforces, not competes with, classroom learning.
