Teacher Filip Dudic is building a partnership between PHSD23 middle school and District214 high school robotics programs
Filip Dudic taught high school classes for a decade, and now at Douglas MacArthur Middle School in Prospect Heights, he still kind of is.
"I've never had more fun coming to work every day," said Dudic, 42, an Arlington Heights resident who has been teaching for nearly two decades."This summer, I was pestering, like, 'When's the building open? When can I come in?'" "Early on, talking in front of a group was not really appealing," Dudic said."Me becoming a teacher just seemed funny because I was not a great student. My sister was like the perfect student. ... She fits that stereotype. She's that kid."
"I think his role is super, super important in order to make the partnership work," said Jack Costello, a senior at Wheeling High School and WildStang team member who first got involved in robotics as a MacArthur student. "You're looking for people who are genuinely good teachers. Because if you're a good teacher, the content matter really comes second," Angelaccio said."Fil is a math teacher by trade, but he's done some computers. He's done some applied tech. He's done some design. So, as far as a candidate for us, he had a lot of varied experiences.
