In this episode, Shawn describes the Rapid Iteration Teaching method that Hack Reactor uses, and he explains how “asking for thumbs” can be a very effective teaching model. He says Hack Reactor is data driven in everything they do instructionally, and explains that they model a lot of their processes from the real world. Shawn shares what he has recently learned about homelessness and how he has been encouraged to find that you really can successfully affect change in giant societal machines. Shawn is most proud of the Code 7370 program, which is the first “learn to code” program inside an American prison. Hear Shawn announce a new scholarship opportunity, and learn about one of his earliest teaching experiences.
