Biography

Hello – I’m Chuck Powell. I recently retired from teaching high school, where I was a science, computer science, and STEM teacher for many years. I have taught subjects and levels ranging from introductory Physical Science to AP Physics and AP Computer Science. My bachelors’ degree is in physics, but I’ve learned computer science along the way.
