In 2017, Sam partnered with the Chilean Ministry of Education, Microsoft, and Telefónica to run a camp for local high school students with an interest in technical English and programming.
Sam is passionate about giving back to the community, both the academic community and the broader world outside it.
Historically, this service has included teaching high school English pro-bono, running a free, six-day Python bootcamp for graduate students, running multiple Intro to LaTeX workshops, judging undergraduate research in poster presentations, and more.
