Instructor & Computer Science Student

Alyssa is a second year Computing Science student at Simon Fraser University. She began programming in high school and has been passionate about coding ever since. At SFU, Alyssa is a peer mentor for the TechConnect program, an Applied Science student ambassador, and a member of her scholarship student committee. In her spare time, Alyssa enjoys many outdoor activities such as kayaking, hiking, and cross country skiing.

Instructor & Computer Engineering Student

Danny is a tutor, instructor, and 3rd year Computer Engineering student at SFU. He is passionate about coding and frequently spends time working on personal projects with the goal of honing his own skills while aiming to develop applications that create convenience for others. He has worked as a swimming instructor since 2016 and values creating engaging learning environments for youth. This, coupled with his knowledge as a Computing Science Peer Tutor, and having experienced both the triumphs and tribulations that come with being a student in STEM, he aims to help fellow undergraduates and youth develop crucial skills needed to succeed in computer science. In his spare time, he enjoys watching documentaries and gaming with friends.

Coordinator, Outreach Programs

Eva is a science educator and educational technologist. When she was in university, Eva used computational methods to differentiate between germline and somatic genetic variants in tumours sequenced with a targeted gene panel. She also volunteered extensively for various science outreach organizations while at university and realized what she loves more than finding subtle trends in large-scale biological data, is creating learning experiences for youths to appreciate the works of scientists. With her new found passion, she went back to university to learn how to effectively use educational technologies to teach STEM-related topics. In her spare time, Eva enjoys biking around the city and playing board games.

Instructor & Computer Science Student

Sunil is a student and former sports coach. He has been studying Computer Science at SFU since 2019, for a Bachelor of Science degree. During this time he has found enjoyment from making video games through programming and game development software in both his school and free time. From 2017 to 2019, he volunteered with the YMCA and coached youth basketball. In his free time, Sunil enjoys collecting comic books and playing sports such as hockey.
