Teaching

I love to teach! Here are some of my experiences. I might post some of my teaching materials as I polish them more.
 

EECS16B: Designing Information Devices and Systems II

January 2023 - Present

Fall 2023 — Present: I am now a Lab TA for the Fall 2023 semester. In addition to my previous duties, I also help develop content for the course. This involves improving the current lab material, lab reports, and lab notes for students.
Spring 2023 — I am a Lab ASE for EECS16B for the Spring 2023 semester. This lab involves building the S1XT33N Robot Car (as outlined in my post here), and I am excited to teach students how to build their own robot car! I will update this page as the semester progresses.
