Brian Huang

Brian Huang is the Education Engineer for SparkFun Electronics, an open-source hardware and electronics education company. Brian started his career as an electrical engineer, but early on, he spent time volunteering and teaching at science museums. He quickly discovered a passion for teaching and working with students - especially in a place that fostered the “wow” factor of inquiry and discovery. In 2007, Brian left engineering to pursue a career in education. Brian has taught various levels of high school science and mathematics for 5 years before joining the team at SparkFun.
