Teaching “DH in the Classroom” at DREAM Lab @pricelab.bsky.social was a rewarding experience. Fantastics students, the best collaborator @betovargas.github.io, and friends old and new. We covered a huge range of topics, but here’s a peek at the game we made in the #DHMakes unit.

Thank you to @apprecovery.bsky.social especially @gbaezaventura.bsky.social, Dr. Lorena Gauthereau, Dr. Linda García Merchant, & Youngjun Kim for hosting me and to @betovargas.github.io for helping me prepare. It was a pleasure to speak to this curious and thoughtful group.
