Robotics, AI, and the Gospel
Fiji-born educator Sharon Singh has traveled the world over with her family and called Fiji, New Zealand, Hong Kong, South Korea, and now Australia — home.
Saying “yes” to Jesus at an Easter service in Fiji when she was 10 years old, Sharon embraced the call to share the Gospel at an early age. After participating in a Haggai Leader Experience in 2003, she quickly became an international faculty member and has since taught in Chiang Mai, Indonesia, Singapore, and Maui. Sharon continues to facilitate via the Virtual Haggai Leader Experience sessions. As a result of her equipping at Haggai, she says, “I have been working in church planting, Christian schooling, and Bible colleges since 2003, equipping Christian leaders and ministering to the next generation.” Sharon and her husband also work with Transform the Nations in Nepal and Myanmar, an organization that gives voice and hope to children and families who have been exploited and forced into a living nightmare of human trafficking.
Sharon tries to pass a desire to end Gospel poverty on to the next generation. Much like Dr. John Edmund Haggai, whom she credits for accelerating her passion for winning others for eternity, she wishes to leave a legacy of love and compassion for the next generation.
The next generation is at the core of all she embarks upon.
“As a parent, an educator, and having been through some tumultuous periods in my life, I am fully cognizant of the high impact and influence an adult can make in the lives of the young ones. I have been working with the next-gen for most of my life. My heart weeps for the many who do not know the love of Christ.”
To find that Sharon presides as the head of e-Learning and Innovation at St. John’s Anglican College in Brisbane should come as no surprise to anyone. In September, she won the highly prestigious Peter Doherty Outstanding Teacher of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) award. Professor Doherty is a Nobel-prize-winning scientist from Brisbane and this award is for demonstrating an outstanding and innovative contribution to STEM education in Queensland. Sharon is a finalist for the Queensland College of Teachers TEACHX Innovation in Teaching Award for 2021 as well.
Her vision for her students is “to design and create using cutting-edge technology at any time of the day,” according to the stories.qct.edu.au website. When she came to St. John’s Anglican College, Sharon quickly saw that STEM students had nowhere to start or finish a project without having to pick it up and move it every time they went to another class. She visited High Tech High School in San Diego and went back to build the international award-winning STEM Design Centre, for which the college received a silver award for the best learning space in 2019. It has flexible learner-centered learning spaces which feature artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality, drone technology, 3D printers, a media studio for film and photography, and a maker space where computational thinking, design thinking, and systems thinking are the heart of real-life problem-solving.
To top it all off, since Sharon has implemented her vision, the school has seen an increase in the number of students studying the computer science and information technology course including a vital increase in female student numbers.
On her recent award, Sharon says, “I love the way a person I admired very much, the Rev. Billy Graham, explained it and one that I keep reminding myself of all the time. Yes, there is a prideful attitude that cuts us off from God, an arrogant, haughty, self-centered attitude, that looks down on people and feels no need of God. But the Bible also speaks of another kind of pride, a healthy understanding of what God has given us, and a humble determination to do our best for His glory. I want to always see myself the way God sees me, and humbly accept the gifts He has given me. Daily I go to the foot of the cross and humbly commit my life and future to Jesus Christ.”
