President: Rob Gibson
I am currently the Computer and Information Sciences Teacher at Sussex Central High School in Georgetown, DE. I came to teaching after 12 years at the University of Delaware. I was the 2015 Delaware STEM Teacher of the Year and a National CTE Innovator as recognized by the US Department of Education and The White House. I work closely with ZiPCode Wilmington and NCWIT to share reources with my students. I also teach for the University of Delaware as an adjunct faculty member in the Associate in Arts program.

Originally specializing in music, Dr. Hofstetter now supports projects across the curriculum and teaches general education courses in multimedia and Internet technologies. His latest book is Computational Thinking on the Internet, which grew out of his involvement as a CT Faculty Member in the NSF Project, Infusing Computational Thinking into General Education, directed by PI Lori Pollock and Co-PIs Chrystalla Mouza, Kevin Guidry, and Kathleen Pusecker. Dr. Hofstetter developed the Podium multimedia software and the Serf learning management system. His latest software is iSeeNcode, which is an iPad/iPhone classroom observation app developed under an IES grant with PI David Coker.
