I teach students at the camp programming in Objective C to make their own apps for their iOS devices. Each session is one week long but we cover large amounts of material. Also taught the two week Programming Academy course for iOS programming.

I am responsible for developing the curriculum used by instructors to teach this course. the curriculum must provide knowledge from the very basics all the way to advanced topics. Each lesson contains a tutorial section for the campers to follow or to help out the instructor. A total of eighty lessons are being written for this curriculum.

Instructor for multiple programming courses taught to campers ages 10-17. Through the seven weeks I taught Programming in C++/Java, Game Design with GameSalad and Programming iPhone and iPad Apps using XCode. Sessions were one week long and campers used what they learned in the first three days to create impressive projects to take home with them.
