With her technical experiences and being a parent of 3 self-motivated academic achievers, she strongly believe in the importance of nurturing children's creativity, enforcing academic and personal disciplines, and strengthening their critical thinking skills, teamwork, communication and leadership skills. 

She believes in using robotics curriculum as a great tool to help our children to meet the unpredictable challenges in the future global market by focusing on the development of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics as the core foundation for our children academic and intellectual development. 
 

Netzin received a Masters from Princeton University in 1995, and has been a researcher in multiple scientific disciplines for over 15 years. She is particularly interested in GIS aware robotic systems.   Aligning with the director’s dream, she aims to establish a science-centric institute for children, with an emphasis on critical thinking/logic and a problem-based approach to learning.
