Shane O'Loughlin | Whole School Head of Robotics, AP Computer Science Teacher.
Stamford American International School

  I am currently the Whole School Head of Robotics with over 15 years of experience leading, developing, and expanding robotics programs in international schools. Throughout my career, I’ve successfully introduced and scaled both VEX and LEGO Robotics platforms, helping students from early years through high school engage meaningfully with STEM and computational thinking. My work spans multiple continents and school systems, including key leadership roles at the International School of Uganda, International School Singapore, and Stamford American International School in Singapore. I’ve led teacher training, curriculum integration, and the design of competitive and inquiry-based learning experiences that make robotics both accessible and challenging. I have also been invovled in international Competitions. As the founder of the Singapore International Schools Robotics League, I’ve helped create opportunities for collaboration and competition between leading schools such as UWCSEA East and Dover, the French International School, and the Australian International School. My goal is always to empower students through hands-on learning, problem-solving, and teamwork. I believe robotics is more than just building and coding—it’s a platform for creativity, resilience, and global collaboration. I'm passionate about helping schools embed robotics meaningfully into their culture, and I continue to support educators and students in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible through technology.
