      Assistant Instructor

      I am responsible for assisting the head instructor in teaching 3 middle school classes of 3-8th grade students about LEGO robotics, movie making lessons and techniques, and game creation software. I also documented and recorded attendance and daily points earned using Microsoft Excel. We use programs such as Adobe Premiere Elements for video editing and After Effects for adding special effects to the videos. We use the LEGO Mindstorm robotics kits in our robotics class, and we teach students the basics in programming so that they are able to program the robots that they build to perform tasks. This is all to prepare for the annual First Lego League tournament. Show less
