Coding Classes
Dynamic Programming with Vex VR
This class will use https://vr.vex.com/ to introduce dynamic programming concepts through gamified assignments. Vex vr allows us to control a virtual "robot" through various courses and complete various tasks.
Class Schedule(s)

Dynamic programming refers to coding in a way that allows for a family of closely related problems to be solved generally, rather than each individual problem needing its own solution. We run into this concept on a day to day basis without even noticing. For example there are general best practices that I should always use when cooking, regardless of which meal I am preparing. You can imagine that a program, or robot, might be asked to perform its task under a wide array of conditions, and that it needs to slightly adjust to these conditions. This class will introduce students to this concept of dynamic programming through a few guided examples.

About Eric Lin
Hello, My name is Eric Lin. I have been teaching programming and robotics classes for the last four years, since graduating from UCLA with a bachelors in physics in 2016. I like to conduct my classroom like a laboratory and allow students to discover through experimenting, often failing before success comes. I want to give students an environment where they have the freedom to fail, and emphasize the process more than the result. I am comfortable with all ages, having taught kindergarten all the way through high school. In my spare time I like to stay active and enjoy: hiking, swimming, camping and rock climbing.
