I'm experimenting with a new model for CS education using advisors who follow and adapt to students' interests. The core idea is that students should learn how to learn early and to self-direct their own education. However, they need support for when they get stuck.
At the moment, I'm looking to work with students who have deep interests in CS/tech, but want something more dynamic than a fixed curriculum program.
Experience: * Self-taught programmer. * Worked on data engineering at a large hospital. * Ex-VC - worked on technology due-diligence. * Started independent R&D lab (www.ithron.com). * Designed this model based on my experiences hiring engineers.
Engagement model: * Work with students 1 on 1 * ideal age range is 16-21, * 2-3 hours of meetings per week + 15-20 hours of self-directed time * 3 month batches, can be extended to a full-year. * More info at: https://www.divepod.to
