Coding with kids
Recently I had the opportunity to teach a coding workshop to my daughter Alayna’s fourth grade class. It was an absolute blast so I thought I would write a post about it.

Watching her conduct her class was a treat, it’s rare to see that many 9 to 10-year-olds paying such close attention. They were extremely polite, attentive, and focused. With that many kids it’s easy for discussions to get out of hand but she has created an atmosphere of respect and an eagerness for learning that made my job easy. read more
