My Project

At our school we are working hard to build an exciting and inclusive computer science program! My students come from all over the world and are learning to code using blocks (Snap!), Python and Java!

Using Turtlestitch, we can use computer science to program embroidery designs, and the Brother SE600 embroidery machine I am asking for help to purchase will allow them to make their designs real!

WIth Turtlestitch and the SE600, we can code classic geometric designs like mandalas, or use recursion to make the Sierpinksi's triangle, Koch's snowflake and more come alive on their T-shirts or bookbags!
