ROBOTICS COACH
Ryan is also the founder and coach for the VEX IQ team 7760T Terminators. This team is made up of students (ages 8-11). ​They are beginners to robotics but quickly becoming VEX enthusiasts! They competed at their very first tournament, the Monroe Kickoff, in August 2025 and came out rank #3 and seed #2. Great job Terminators!
NON-PROFIT COLLABORATION
Ryan formed a collaboration with Emma's Helping Hands, a non-profit organization that provides hope to families in Zambia, Africa. Every summer, Emma's Helping Hands makes a journey to Zambia, bringing supplies, clothing, and toys for families. In June of 2025, Ryan donated 150 robotics activity kits which were delivered to an orphanage in Zambia. The orphanage is called Our Rainbow Schoolhouse and houses 125 orphans. These kids were able to build vehicles (trucks, cars, boats) from Ryan's robotics kits. This collaboration was a success and thus Seed Seek Robotics will continue their work with Emma's Helping Hands.​ ​
