In this sample class, we'll go over the idea of an object in Javascript. We'll intro with a sample lecture going over objects in Javascript before diving into simple pieces of code that we can run to hack the game. We'll look at how the Chrome Dino is built which includes: -The Singleton Pattern -Old school Javascript Prototypes -What is a class/instance? -Running code in the console. This is a 0 to 1 class so no coding experience is required! Just a can-do attitude, comfort with common computer shortcuts and typing.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Computer Science is the best platform to give kids the tools they need to start making and discovering things on their own. I love how programming allows students to become even better students by helping them learn to fail safely and rapidly.
Getting good at anything, be it writing or art or cooking, is about practicing and trying new things! Instead, many students are held back by a misconception that they have to be perfect or know everything. Thankfully, programming is the perfect way to break through those misconceptions.
I believe half of teaching is getting students to a place, mentally, where they can learn the material on their own. Programming is one of the best ways to develop that positive feedback loop where effort gets results. In my classes, I try to make usually dry content accessible, relevant, and personalized! Kind of like cooking tasty vegetables!
I studied computer science formally but I've been a nerd all my life! I remember being 12 and discovering this world when Neopets and Myspace let you add custom HTML to your profile page/store.
2 years as the lead instructor of an after school coding program in San Francisco.
5 years teaching, private tutoring, and a few coaching some high school robotics teams.
Also used to volunteer to teach code at underserved public high schools under a non-profit called Code Nation.
Currently, a software engineer in Silicon Valley!
