Instructor

• Jul 2016 - Aug 2016

Over the course of 7 weeks I taught a variety of courses as a Teen Instructor at the UofT DMA Camp. I taught Programming w/ Java (x3), Game Programming w/ Python (x1), 3D Animation and Modelling w/ Maya (x1) and Academy for Java Programming (x1). Over the course of 7 weeks, I furthered my ability to communicate effectively with teens whilst also teaching them a variety of subjects. The scope of these courses can be found at the following links (in order): >> 3D Animation and Modelling w/ Maya: https://www.digitalmediaacademy.org/teen-summer-camps/summer-tech-camps-for-teens/3d-modeling-and-character-design-with-maya >> Programming w/ Java: https://www.digitalmediaacademy.org/teen-summer-camps/summer-tech-camps-for-teens/programming-with-java >> Academy for Java Programming: https://www.digitalmediaacademy.org/teen-summer-camps/summer-tech-camps-for-teens/academy-for-java-programming >> Game Programming w/ Python: https://www.digitalmediaacademy.org/teen-summer-camps/summer-tech-camps-for-teens/game-programming-with-python Show less

Teacher

• Jun 2015 - Jul 2015

I taught students between the ages of 14 and 16 how to program a prebuilt LEGO EV3 robot in the LEGO EV3 drag and drop programming software in order to have the robot navigate a playmat with various coloured markings and a wall as obstacles. The purpose of the activity was to teach the children how to program the various sensors of the robot (colour and infrared), and allow them to understand how the practical application of programming differs from the theoretical program. I developed my teaching and communication skills whilst also improving upon my teamwork abilities through working with various different partners. Show less
