Hi, my name is Mira Wilner and I'm a programmer at Brookhaven National Labs.

0:06

I've worked at Purdue University, Carnegie Mellon University,

0:09

the National Ignition Facility,

0:11

and I graduated with a CS degree from uc, Davis.

0:15

I'm particularly interested in teaching programming,

0:18

but I'm also interested in teaching engineering, math,

0:22

and any form of high school science.

0:24

I started tutoring at Purdue University when a bunch of mechanical engineers

0:29

from undergrad came into our lab,

0:31

and it was my job to teach them enough code so that they could complete their

0:36

mechanical project by the end of the year,

0:38

and they were able to create a really,

0:41

really amazing project within only a few months.

0:44

And I specialize in teaching the parts of code that nobody really talks about,

0:50

and you're just expected to kind of know. So get GitHub how to use your ide.

0:55

I feel like a lot of times people are just expected to know these things out of

0:59

the blue, which is silly if you're not taught these things. So yeah,

1:02

book a lesson if you're interested in learning any of these topics,

1:05

and I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys.
