Jan 2015 - Jun 2015
Taught two different elective classes on creative digital expression. One track was devoted to Photoshop, the other, concepts in computer science, with some coding with Processing. Had to ensure students could pursue their interests in both. I additionally taught some classes at elementary level. With the right approach, some computer science concepts are highly engaging for younger learners. We had a lot of fun making games together with MIT's Scratch.
