Each week we will learn about the 4 most basic programming languages - Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS. We will do in-depth coding and analysis of each language making you able to land your dream project!

This course will begin assuming no prior programming knowledge, and at the end you will have built a game using pygame. We will be covering several topics which are not necessary for game development with pygame since the target of this series is to build a foundation in programming with python (pygame is just a fun way to apply some of the concepts we have learned!)

Hands-on, math-first class in machine and deep learning. We'll start at supervised learning, loss functions, gradient descent, and the chain rule, then work forward and backprop by hand for a tiny model. We'll compare and contrast layer types (linear, conv; quick tour of transfoerms/RNNs) and training heuristics (like initialization, normalization, regularization, early stopping, and SGD vs. Adam). Hands-on time: create your toy net using NumPy, recreate it in PyTorch and get it to learn on a very small real dataset. Short whiteboarding blocks, live coding, and frequent check-ins where you get to do it yourself will occur. Colab links will be given out. Python familiarity is preferred, but not required; the math is graspable and is performed so it will stick, though basic knowledge of calculus is required.

Enrolled in AP Computer Science this fall and want to get a head start? This series explores the building blocks of JAVA and important concepts to help build a strong foundation in AP CSA heading into the school year. Each session, we’ll cover a few topics, breaking them down slowly and thoroughly. These lessons will be accompanied by practice questions and warm up activities at the start of each session. I hope to provide much help in these sessions to help you tackle this course better regardless of wherever you are at in skill level! 🙂 Open to all learners regardless of expertise in JAVA!
