In 2024, I was invited by Joshua Ng to co-present a digital preservation workshop at SEAPAVAA (online). My section focused on audiovisual file storage, discussing types of physical storage media, systems for backup, networking and RAID, and demonstrating file transfer methods using command line checksum (md5).

Codecamp Instructor
Over 6 months in 2019 I worked with Codecamp NZ as an instructor for their STEM holiday programmes and after school classes around the Wellington region, helping children of primary and secondary school ages to become computer literate and teaching them to run simple code. Central to this was building their confidence and initiative outside of a digital environment with design, creativity, problem solving and collaboration as tools for crafting a coding mindset.
Key Achievements:
Worked successfully with classes of mixed ages, necessitating clear communication to ensure all children understood the tasks and progressing at a steady pace.
Adjusted my mode of communication and teaching approach to better serve children with unforeseen learning difficulties.
Contributed to development and refinement of the Codecamp curriculum with the team, including planned audiovisual elements.
