David Sobel is a Professor Emeritus in the Education Department at Antioch University New England in Keene, NH. He consults and speaks widely on child development and place-based education with schools, environmental organizations, and the National Park Service. In the last thirty years, he has authored ten books, and more than 90 articles focused on children and nature for educators, parents, environmentalists, and school administrators.

Aaron D. Ames is the Bren Professor of Mechanical and Civil Engineering and Control and Dynamical Systems at the California Institute of Technology. His research interests span the areas of robotics, nonlinear control, and hybrid systems, with a special focus on applications to bipedal robotic walking--both formally and through experimental validation. His lab designs, builds and testes novel bipedal robots, humanoids and prostheses with the goal of achieving human-like bipedal robotic locomotion and translating these capabilities to robotic assistive device.
