Educator. Maker. Digital explorer.

Big curiosity.
Little sparks.
Real discoveries.

Hi, I’m Ilia. I help students turn curiosity into things they can build, from their first line of code to robots and explorations of space.

Learning, brought to life

A few things we’ve explored.

Classroom projects, creative experiments and moments when an idea becomes something real.

A little about me

Serious about learning.
Always open to wonder.

What happens if we try…?

I’m an educator and creative technologist, currently Head of Computing at SBS International School Chiang Mai, where I also lead the Innovations Programme.

My route into education began in business and innovation. Today, I bring that same interest in turning ideas into action to computing, robotics, design and astronomy.

I believe students learn deeply when they have something meaningful to make, a question worth investigating and the freedom to try again. My role is to give them the tools, confidence and guidance to take that next step.
