He also enjoys designing and building projects, including two houses, several boats, a human/electric hybrid vehicle, plywood bicycles, several playhouses, and other unique and unusual devices. In his role at CeMaST, Dr. Christensen focuses primarily on the promotion and implementation of the IMaST program to schools throughout Illinois and beyond.
