My Students

My first grade class is full of creative, funny, and vivacious personalities, and they are always looking for opportunities to be thinkers and active learners. This year my students participated in Hour of Code 2017. They also have been busy working on STEM projects incorporating science, technology, engineering and math. With these experiences, my students are HOOKED on coding and computer sciences! I want to help them pursue this passion and introduce them to computer science in a hands-on and engaging way.

My Project

Over the next 10 years, programming will be one of the fastest growing occupations. There will be 1.4 million programming jobs to fill; but with only 400,000 graduates in computer science, this leaves 1 million jobs unfilled. We need more programmers!

Learning programming empowers kids and helps them become better thinkers!

It can also help to create a way of thinking about things that is helpful in all areas of life.

My students are already hooked on coding, and my hope is to bring coding to life by introducing them to Dash robots. Dash brings together robotics and education through coding.
