I am currently studying Complex Systems to learn how disastrous societies emerge from well meaning people. I am looking deeply at the Federal Elections Commission data to understand how political contributions spread throughout networks of people and political committees. In general, I hope to figure out how to turn large scale public agreement for change into systemic improvements.
During the work day I teach students and teachers how to understand the data, algorithms and the digital systems in the world around them. Including creating virtual environments for students to explore hacking in an ethically and technically safe way and designing curricula for students to learn the fundamentals of the web, APIs and team based software projects.

How can we create environments for students to learn programming skills that allow them to thrive without overwhelming them?
