Co-founder

Terence, the co-founder and General Manager of edm8ker LLC, bring a diverse background in education to the world of STEAM/STEM education. With a genesis in teaching English and History at the high school level, Terence's passion for impactful education propelled him into the Ministry of Education, Singapore, where he played a pivotal role in shaping applied and vocational educational policies. His work significantly influenced the learning trajectories and career opportunities for over 100,000 tertiary students.

At the heart of Terence's narrative is a profound realization during his tenure in educational policy: the discord between traditional educational structures and the evolving demands of the modern workforce. Conversations with employers illuminated a critical gap—schools were not adequately equipping students with the essential 21st-century skills sought by industries. Seizing the opportunity to bridge this divide, Terence has been instrumental in guiding edm8ker’s expansion in the US, focusing on the pioneering integration of online makerspaces through Eddy, which empowers educators to cultivate these vital skills in their students. Under his leadership, edm8ker is reshaping educational paradigms to foster a generation of innovators prepared for the challenges of an uncertain future.
