I encourage my scholars to learn computer science through critical thinking, exploration and hands-on visualization of the concepts. I'd like to have a class set of flashlights so that they can practice pulsing 1s and 0s to transmit binary data; I'd love to have binary dice so that they can organize 1s and 0s into chains to encode messages... I encourage an inclusive classroom and focus on the leading ladies - Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Katherine Hopper to name but a few - to make sure that we encourage more young ladies into Computer Science. My goal is to relate computer science concepts to hands-on activities so that students visualize, learn and get to engage in their own understanding of the fundamentals of computer science.
