Hello, I am a senior in high school and will be graduating in June.
And I wanted to get a gift that would be memorable for my comp sci teacher.
He is an important teacher for me cuz we would stay late until like 7 to do coding(we worked on problems in Project Euler) and I learned a lot from him.
Anyways, I want to give him a gift as I will be leaving the country after graduation.
Some basic info about him is that he is about 50years old, i think, and he used to work as a developer. He is literally a genius and he loves speed cubing and yoyo. He does some kind of martial arts as well. I thought of some gifts, like a cube, but he already has so many cubes....
Please give me some suggestions. Thanks.
Edit: I am thinking of spending up to $70. But I am open to all suggestions and am willing to spend more if there is a good suggestion.

How much are you willing to spend? I have a few good martial arts ideas :D
|
Oh sorry, I forgot to mention that.
I'm ok up until like 70. But I'm willing to spend more if it's a good idea.
Also, because I want to give him something special.

Mechanical keyboard? As a CS student, I adore mine. A standard Das would be amazing as a gift if he doesn't already have a mech board.
|
He already has a mech keyboard... but thanks for ur suggestion.

You could get him a set of platonic solids for his desk and class room. They're pretty neat to play around with especially if you're familar with groups (which I assume he is since it's used extensively to solve the rubix cube and you guys do project euler problems, if not more to learn!)

teachers like this would just appreciate the fact that you look up to them. if they believe they've done a good job and have inspired you, for them that is the greatest feeling in the world.
in your case, i would probably get some kind of collector/special cube? but most importantly, with above, a heartfelt thank you written in a card, or if you have the guts, in person.
|
well i have no idea for the gift yet, but you should write the gift-card in binary ^^
for the feeling
what kind of martial arts is he into?
knowing that could help to chose something useful.
|
I gave a teacher $100 once. Best gift he's probably ever recieved from a student. Boosted up my grade too.
|
He is doing a Chinese martial arts that has to do with like a spear. One side is a curved sword and the other is just a regular spear.
hehe, I like the idea of a card written in binary.
and a176 do you know of any collectors cube?
|
I don't have anything specific in mind but maybe some kind of multilayered cryptographic puzzle?
|
Rather than give him a gift, try working really hard to earn an A+ and at the end of the semester just write him a note about how he motivated you to want to learn and work hard. It seems like that would serve the same purpose without being expensive and you won't have to worry about whether or not you got him something he would like.
|
You say he likes martial arts?
Perhaps he would enjoy one of these, who knows, maybe he likes turtles as well

This teacher sounds so awesome so many props to him!
As an amateur designer and artist, I love to make unique stuff just to have around. So I usually get something crafted at this place Art's Cow. If you got the time to wait(takes like 3 weeks to deliever) you can order a special item there, with your custom picture on it.
It almost guarantees, it will be special and they're not that expensive!

Given your age, I dunno if it'd be completely appropriate, but all programmers like scotch and you can get a decent 15 year aged bottle for around $70 US

To be honest, all teachers - CS/Math/English whatever- would be ecstatic of even a heartfelt thank you and appreciation card. I think anything made from scratch shows more than you going to a store and buying something.

USB 3 thumb drive with his favorite distro of Linux already bootable off it.
