Kennan Scott was born and raised loving transportation and the New York City Subway. After receiving his Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering from Northeastern University, he bolted for the west coast and the allure of automated public transit. In order to better serve riders, Kennan received a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning from San Jose State University. The son of a long-tenured special education teacher, Kennan has always held education in high regard.

The son of a long-tenured special education teacher, Kennan has always held education in high regard. When given the opportunity to change fields and teach engineering in West Oakland, Kennan saw a chance to make a greater difference in the black community. With making, problem-solving and design thinking at the core of his teaching, Kennan has empowered young engineers to develop meaningful solutions to the problems faced in their communities. He is passionate about creating healthy communities and advancing the field of education through interdisciplinary approaches that merge planning, engineering, advocacy, and coalition building.

Join Kennan for Ask a Maker Educator on Wednesday 2/1 at 4:00 PST to discuss engineering and design thinking in the middle school classroom. Share your questions for Kennan on social media by tagging @MakerEdOrg, or join the conversation on Wednesday and ask you questions live!
