Michael

Hi! My name is Michael! I am a freshman in college currently majoring in Computer Science, I am also very fond of music (in terms of genre, nothing is ever "not my thing"). My dream job would probably be a video game music composer, but also to work on games in general. I've been learning to create games on the side, as well as learning how to compose my very own music. I am also very fond of artwork and movies. Feel free to have any open discussion with me if any of that interests you. My goal here is to help kids learn a thing or two about coding, making games, and themselves, and to help them unlock their true potential. Some of my favorite games include Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Rimworld, and Chrono Trigger.

Rocket S

Hi! My name is Rocket and I’m an incoming sophomore in high school! My favorite video games are Portal, Portal 2 and Minecraft. I spend my free time writing sci-fi stories and playing video games with my friends.

Shana Weiss

Hello! I'm Shana I'm a college graduate at Suny Oswego with a B.A in Theater Tech/Design. I've been working with children since I was 14 years old and I love nurturing young minds and watching them grow! I like Stardew Valley and Undertale, but I've been known to play a decent game of smash. My passion is music though and if a game has a killer soundtrack I'm definitely going to play it on repeat. I can't wait to meet y'all and hang out in the Dojo!

Hello everyone! My name is Alandale I'm the Lead Sensei at Code Ninjas Mount Kisco. I’m a college graduate of SUNY Albany with a B.A in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. I’ve been playing video games for as long as I can remember, especially RPGs. Some of my absolute favorite video games include Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventure 2, Genshin Impact, and Persona 5 Royal.
