• "This trimester in coding I learned how to use coding websites and do coding in general. I learned how coding is used in real world situations rather than just to code something like a computer game."

• "This trimester in coding I learned about making codes, changing some codes in a game, putting together a computer and learning about python, javascript, and html codes. I really enjoyed changing codes on games and putting together a computer."

•  "I learned about making code, editing code and taking apart a computer. My favorite thing is when we took apart a computer and learned about the parts."

• "I learned about variables and three different coding languages: Python, Javascript, and html. I loved Scratch so much I made multiple games on it. I would LOVE to learn more about coding, especially game design. I want to design games for a living."

• "I think that being able to code is a good life skill because you could end up designing an app or something like it that could help many generations."

I am the STEAM teacher at AACA and have loved incorporating STEAM concepts into Arts Pathways! I have a bachelor's degree in Education from Ohio University with a focus on middle childhood education (grades 4-9) science and ELA. I have previously taught middle school science for 6 years. I love using technology to engage students to expand their knowledge, and grow as innovators!
