Service

• Chesapeake College STEM Camp 2014: I taught a 3-day programming class at Chesapeake College for students in grades 6-8. The students developed these games as their project.
• Chesapeake College STEM Camp 2015: Last year's program was well-received, so I will be teaching two week-long courses this summer. One course will be "Introduction to HTML5 Programming", and the other will be a Game Design Workshop.
• Computer Refurb: In cooperation with Chesapeake College, I have been resurrecting Windows PCs that were destined for the scrapheap into Linux Mint desktops for students that need them. So far, we have distributed 20 PCs, and are looking to secure more PCS from the community to give away.

• This entire game engine is written in javascript, using the HTML5 canvas object.
