Michael Schweim
Technology Team
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I am so excited to be a part of the McKeel staff as a robotics teacher. This year, I will be teaching Robotics I (Foundations of Robotics), Robotics II (Robotics Design Essentials), Robotics III (Robotic Systems), Robotics IV (Robotic Applications Capstone), and Robotics V (Engineering Design and Development). As a part of the curriculum for Robotics III, IV, and V, I am the lead coach of six FIRST Tech Challenge competitive robotics teams (7017, 11619, 13624, 14850, 18518, and 19954).
I am in my 22nd year of teaching and my 10th year at McKeel Academy of Technology. Prior to joining this staff, I came from Rochelle School of the Arts, where I taught middle school science and founded its robotics program. I began my teaching career at Crystal Lake Middle School, where I taught 7th grade science. I am a graduate of both the University of Florida and Florida Southern College. As a proud fan of the Florida Gators, I have attended every Florida Gators home football game since the start of the 1996 season.
