I'm Cynthia Teeters, an educator and practitioner building AI-augmented curriculum for web developers. I teach Web Development and JavaScript at Raritan Valley Community College, where I've been using GitHub Classroom since 2019.
Here you'll find resources, cheatsheets, and practitioner insights on working with AI tools intentionally — not as a shortcut, but as a collaborator. The difference between developers who thrive with AI and those who struggle comes down to process, context, and transparency.
This is where I share what I'm learning while building HAP Learning Labs and teaching students to be thoughtful practitioners in an AI-native world.
Meet HAP — my AI learning companion who helps students explore JavaScript and web development concepts through interactive adventures. Visit HAP Learning Labs to explore the full universe.
