My name is Luke Segars and I want to empower others through creative self-discovery.
People should not spend the majority of their lives doing things that they don't enjoy. My goal is to help others find things that they love to do.
I want to see everyone to work on problems that they find enjoyable and challenging, and I believe that restoring our natural hunger to learn is the most effective means of making this happen.
Recent Events / Projects:
Some of the more recent projects that I've worked on. This list will be updated as new things come up.
I'm a computer scientist, educator, and human enthusiast. I live to invigorate others.
I am currently pursuing a Masters in Computer Science at UC Berkeley with an emphasis in education and HCI. I am studying online knowledge-sharing communities and the psychological / sociological forces that motivate people to participate in them.
Head Student Instructor for CS10: The Beauty and Joy of Computing
I am a full-time graduate student instructor (GSI) and am currently in charge of coordinating the majority of GSI activity in the course. In addition, I am constantly working to evolve the curriculum into something better than it already is.
This summer I will be working as an Associate Product Manager (APM) at Google. From what I understand, this essentially means that I will be the coordinator and "idea guy" for a technical development team and will be responsible for guiding a product idea from someone's brain to the live web.
