A2: From minute 1 of day 1, I do my best to show my students that I respect them, am a safe person, and my classroom is a safe space. Over the years, I have had several students come out to me, reach out for help, and more. That is more important to me than any test score.

A3: By exposing all students to or teaching game dev skills, so that they can grow up to be successful in the gaming industry.
I always try to remind educators that around 40% of the jobs our current students will have don't exist yet. So we need to expose them to all the tech we can!
