Mr. Murphy

PLTW Instructor · Grades 6 - 12

Welcome to the Technology Lab! I'm passionate about helping students discover how technology shapes the world around them — and how they can shape it right back. Through Project Lead The Way, we explore engineering, design, robotics, and more with real hands-on projects.

My goal is to make every student feel confident tackling challenges, thinking creatively, and collaborating with their peers. Whether you're building a robot, designing a sustainable building, or learning how circuits work, there's something exciting waiting for you in every grade.

I'm always happy to answer questions — don't hesitate to reach out during office hours or send me a message below.
