Junior 2D Game Design TA

DigiPen ProjectFUN

Summer 2013

I supervised and assisted in instruction for a summer workshop on game design and development to a class of about thirty 4th to 7th grade students. The goal of the course was for each student to build a simple game using one of DigiPen's proprietary C++ frameworks.

The majority of the students had no prior experience programming, so along with coordinating lesson plans with the primary instructor and other assistants, I was responsible for actively reviewing students' work to ensure that they would successfully reach milestones for their projects.
