Tom R. Chambers teaches Technology Applications at Raul Yzaguirre School for Success in Houston, Texas. He also teaches and advises after school programming in Digital Photography and Digital/New Media Art. He takes student engagement and empowerment seriously. Most of what is learned and produced transcends the classroom and school system to have community and international impact. As a result, his students are motivated to do more.

Chambers is a firm believer in empowering students to take control of the learning process via hardware/software for greater understanding and retention of core subject content. Challenge through engagement is the key to students' interest, and enthusiasm for the educational process. His students' accomplishments:
