Meet your instructor
Mr. Dan
I've been tech-adjacent and education-adjacent since I started with STEM in 2012, when I changed my major from 3D Art to a BSc. in Physics.
I'm a 2015 graduate of Sam Houston State University in Physics/Mathematics. I've been programming since 2013 in Java and 2016 in C++. I started working with artificial intelligence development & research in 2023, though I've been mathematically modelling out alternative approaches since 2021. I've been educating brilliant minds in the fashion of Socratic & Aristotelian approaches to education via reflection & cross-examination since I started working at SCL. I'm in education in order to overturn & innovate in a field that I think has needed innovation since we shifted from an industrial society to a digital society. In order to make my vision of education into reality, I work with bright minds of different groups and ages, where we share our intelligence, knowledge, and skills to create curriculum and plans that best serve the needs of tomorrow, today.
