Hello! I’m Mr. Mickelson, and I am so excited to be your student’s Technology Teacher here at Corpus Christi.
I’ve been working in the tech industry since 2017, spending time in both the private and public sectors. While I love the technical side of things, I found my true calling in 2023 when I started teaching. There is nothing better than seeing a student’s face light up when a complex piece of code finally "clicks" or when a project they’ve worked hard on finally comes together.
I have 3 kids. 2 daughters and a son.
I’m honored to be part of the Corpus Christi community and can’t wait to see the incredible things your students will create this year!
Let’s have a great year!
In my classroom, we don't just "use" computers—we learn how they think, how they’re built, and how to make them do amazing things. Technology is a powerful tool for creativity and problem-solving, and my goal is to move students from being "users" to being innovators.
We have some incredible projects lined up across our three main tracks:
Hardware and Code: We will be learning everything there is to know about building and disassembling computer hardware. We will also be learning about programming using Javascript and HTML.
Digital Media: We will be learning how to express our creativity through animation using the OpenToonz software. We will also be producing and doing sound design!
