About Jason Galbraith
Jason Galbraith started his career with a Master’s Degree in Artificial Intelligence, but then realized he enjoyed teaching more than research. After getting his teaching degree, he landed a job at Sunset High School, where he has been since 2007. In that time he has taught a huge variety of technology classes for all levels of students, from technology introductions for middle school students to college-level computer science classes. At Sunset, his classes include 3D modeling, video game creation, web design, robotics, Java programming, C++ programming, and data structures. Many of these classes are dual-credit with Portland State University and Portland Community College. He also coaches video game teams, mentors robotics teams, runs after-school clubs, and a girls-only technology camp. In his spare time, he helps teach for Saturday Academy, runs workshops for the OCSTA (Oregon Computer Science Teachers Association), and attempts to make a professional level computer Go player with Professor Peter Drake of Lewis & Clark College. He also holds the position of Adjunct Instructor at Portland State University. He is a 2019 award winner for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching for Oregon in the area of Science, specializing in Computer Science.
