If you want help on a Scratch project, this studio class is for you (and your sibling - or friend))! Whether it's a project from one of my classes or something you've created on your own, I'll help you make progress. Classes are for two to four learners that know each other - typically siblings. I can give suggestions on what to learn, teach anything Scratch by request, and help debug a project or give ideas for further features and how to implement them. I can also teach any of my curricula if private tutoring is preferred by your learners. This class is scheduled as a private class by request. The class is ongoing so you can choose how many weeks you'd like to enroll, and you'd pay weekly. At least two learners must sign up separately. I also have a 1:1 class that can be requested.
Learning Goals
Learners bring their own projects and get help in solving problems in the projects. Students will also learn how to debug their code and other new coding techniques.

Parental Guidance
It is recommended, but not necessary to have an account on Scratch. If making a Scratch account, please help your learner choose a user name and password that they can enter on their own, and use an email address that is easy to access (perhaps a parent's), in order to recover the account if the password or username is forgotten.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach coding classes using Scratch and micro:bit robotics on OutSchool. I truly believe that Scratch is the best coding platform for kids. And micro:bit is by far the best "physical computing" device for learning robotics! I love the excitement on students' faces when they have that "A-ha" moment and have learned something new that they can use.
I want kids to see themselves as creators of technology, not just consumers of tech. My classes are project-based -- I want the students to make something that they care about. My classes are fun and engaging.
I teach 2 types of classes: multiday and ongoing clubs. The multiday classes have more "formal" instruction - i.e. I teach 95% of the time. The multidays start with beginner classes go through a series for advanced beginners (Sorytelling or Game Design), and then end with advanced topics (like Building a 3D Maze). My ongoing clubs are designed so that I teach small "coding nuggets" for half the class, and then allow learners to share projects with the other half. My teaching is a smaller part of the class, and is less linear: kids can join or leave any time.
I am a software engineer who is a lifelong learner. I've been teaching coding professionally for over 8 years -- summer camps, afterschool and homeschool programs, and at the college level, at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I have a BS in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, and a MS in Engineering from CU Boulder, where my practicum project was focused on curriculum and software to engage girls in coding.
I am very active outdoors, and especially love to mountain bike and ski.Reviews
