iOS Dev Summer Academy Instructor

You'll be teaching students aged ~13-25 how to build and ship their first product: an iPhone game! Our curriculum covers Objective-C and Cocos2d, but also product design, prototyping, user testing, analytics, and more. The MakeGamesWithUs Summer Academy is where students go from having tinkered with CS to falling in love with it and your job will be to teach and mentor them throughout. You can teach in SF, Boston or NYC. Here's a taste of the students you'll be teaching: https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/almost-touched-my-dreams-mgwu-summer-academy/description https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/almost-touched-my-dreams... https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/help-a-cf-patient-fulfill-his-dream-of-coding/description https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/help-a-cf-patient-fulfil... https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/help-sam-design-and-program-an-iphone-game/description https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/help-sam-design-and-prog... https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/send-ramon-to-make-games-with-us-summer-academy/description https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/send-ramon-to-make-games...
