Instructor's Bio:

My name is Raul Faife. I've been obsessed with technology since I was young and love to share my passion with others who are also interested. This includes how to develop their own video games, robots, and anything that reminds me of science fiction. I’ve taught in many past workshops the basics of coding by introducing students to Minecraft Modding but also just love to dive straight into Unity3D to make a game from scratch.

 

A message from Raul:

"Hope you’re having a wonderful day! It’s going to be an amazing journey to start exploring where our imagination can take us. Super excited to see how you all express yourselves and your creativity in the world of tech!”

Jamie says:

Raul is passionate about his subject and seeing kids grasp new concepts. He was an excellent teacher with clear goals, and good communication, and positive engagement with kids and parents. He was patient and kind with the kids, and very generous with his time making sure no one was left behind. My son learned more in this class than in any class like this we have tried. We were very impressed. Minecraft Modding was a perfect introduction to coding using video games. My son was excited to see what he could create, and I think this course will give him patience for learning more in-depth coding in the future he had an awesome time!

Lisa M. says:

My son had a FANTASTIC time last weekend during Minecraft camp :) My 8-year old loved his class with Raul. Raul was extremely patient and encouraged the group of kids to be creative. Highly recommend!
