Andy Forest is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe them as "I have the pleasure of working with Andy and the entire team at Steamlabs on a recent funding proposal. Their direct experience and expertise in developing interactive experiences using sophisticated AI solutions, and their commitment to collaborative and ongoing partnerships, was incredibly helpful, and allowed us to create a more in-depth and ambitious proposal concept to engage audiences across Northern Ontario in lunar rovers and space science. I look forward to continuing this partnership in the future!" and "I was fortunate to work with Andy on a series of very successful experiential learning experiences Steamlabs developed for the Ontario Science Centre. He recognized my enthusiasm for digital fabrication while I was just volunteering with Steamlabs and hired me to work on challenging and innovative projects which have been a foundation for my technical practice. Andy worked continually to mentor me and the other members of our team. He set aside time from our projects every week to help me develop my strengths, identify and address my weaknesses, and plan the development of my passion into a career."
