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.
