About Me

My Name is Mike Haydn, I am the Pre Engineering Instructor at Olmsted Falls High School.In 1977 I began my career in the Engineering department of a North Ridgeville company advancing to supervisor of the Test lab and Packaging. In 1997 I changed careers and started teaching Engineering and Drawing at Polaris Career Center. In 2003 Polaris began using the PLTW Pre Engineering Curriculum and we became the 13th school in Ohio to do so (today there are over 200). In 2011 Polaris expanded the Pre Engineering program to be a Satellite program here at Olmsted Falls High School.

As well as teaching I advise the Olmsted Fall Robotics Club that meets every Tuesday after school. I am very proud of my students accomplishments including 1st place winners in Robotics and Automation and Mobile Robotics and many others. I believe my role in education is to give my students opportunities to succeed while using what skills they have learned.
