It’s my first summer as a teacher and it feels *so* weird.
You mean I just… *don’t work* for 10 straight weeks? What the hell am I supposed to do with myself?

42 hours. 200+ students. Pure creativity.
At Creative Jam, teens built games, murals, music, movies—even a DIY smart treadmill & a scavenger-hunt wearable that shocks you if you're too slow to find and scan an item.
Teens are *wildly* capable when given space to create.
I love this job ❤️

I decided to teach the TCP/IP model in an… unconventional way, today.
Instead of a standard computer-facing lecture, I thought I'd move the lesson outside and have the students adopt the roles of each layer themselves.
It was a blast! I can't wait to do it again next year.

This just gave me some serious Window Blinds flashbacks. Remember when computers had personality?
Computers used to bang. Aston Shell, Yzdock, real millennialcore before UX design was just padding.

It seems like 90% of the personal cybersecurity advice I give to my students is “don’t ever, for any reason, click any link, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you’ve been… ever, for any reason whatsoever.”

Decided to kick things off with a sorting exercise for the OSI model.
I haven’t done one of these yet, so wasn’t sure how it’d go, but it was really cool to see some immediate evolution in understanding as they worked through the exercise.
Definitely something I’ll do again!

And just like that, I’ve survived my first semester teaching and am now entering into the longest single stretch of time off I have had in decades.
