Berkeley Students offering CS/College Advising Bootcamp

Good afternoon,
We are proud to offer this 6-week course to 7th-11th graders who either have little to no computer science experience or would like to brush up on some fundamentals. As a group of UC Berkeley Computer Science students, we have designed the course based on three introductory CS classes at Berkeley: CS 10, CS 61A, and CS 61B.
We have created our curriculum to be taught in Python through a project-based teaching style, meaning that by the end of the course, students will not only have CS knowledge, but also an impressive, tangible project to put on their resumes/college applications. During the last week of the session, we will be offering a 1:1 college advising session as well as a class-wide presentation on how to effectively create a college application tailored to CS.
Logistical details are as follows:
6 weeks starting 6/16, with 2 hours of virtual instruction twice a week
5-10 students, so at worst, the student-teacher ratio is roughly 3:1.
$360 ($15 an hour)
Attached is a syllabus and an interest form so we can contact you with more details.

House building in Mexico

HI All, with regards to high school volunteering, any groups here in San Ramon planning house building in Mexico this summer. Please respond if there is an existing group that my family could join. Alternately, I am interested in starting a new group if we can get some interested families.  This house building volunteering event is organized by www.doxaserves.org  (Non Profit at Seattle building homes for 25+ years).
Please let me know if there is any interest,
Cheers,

Tutoring – 2nd to 5th grade

Hello Parents and neighbors,
I’m glad to announce that this is going to be my 8th year teaching 2nd to 5th grade students and guiding them through thought- provoking problems, puzzles and brain teasers which eventually strengthen their mathematical and logical thinking vocabulary knowledge.
The engaging highly interactive enrichment session promotes the development of figural-spatial, verbal, visual, analytical and deductive thinking necessary for qualifying any competitive test.
Contact me at 925-828-8168 and we can talk in details.
Referrals are available to speak about tons of success stories.
