Teaching

From 2017-2020, I co-designed and taught three iterations of EXACT (Experiences in Applied Computational Thinking) - the certificate program offered by Penn GSE (Graduate School of Education) in collaboration with Penn Engineering’s GRASP lab.

EXACT is a 30-week online, synchronous professional development program designed for K-12 educators to integrate their current pedagogical practices with computational thinking pertaining to the use of advanced computational tools and practices in the context of their subject matter.

With Catalyst @ Penn GSE in 2019, I won two PASmart advancing grants of ~$500K each from the Pennsylvania Department of Education to implement it in Pennsylvania school districts: 1) Computational Thinking in Action (CTIA) and 2) Eastern Pennsylvania Innovation Catalyst (EPIC) Network.
