A public policy graduate of Duke University, Danny has spent almost 10 years living and teaching computer science. Danny is an alumnus of Teach for America, worked at Google, and was head of K-12 computer science instruction at Flatiron School. In his career, he's trained over 40 teachers to lead immersive coding courses in schools across the country, built extensive coding curriculum, and taught software development to over 200 high school students. As a former middle school science teacher, he's deeply committed to the art of instruction and discovering the best methods to recruit, train, and retain top teaching talent in the field of K-12 computer science education.

Taylor first discovered her loves of coding and education at Carleton College, where she received her undergraduate degree in physics. She joined Teach for America in 2013 as a high school physics teacher in Fall River, MA. During this time, she received her M.Ed. in curriculum and teaching from Boston University. In the summer of 2015, Taylor began teaching introductory courses in software engineering to high school students in Austin, TX with The Flatiron School. She went on to teach with Upperline as the lead instructor at Kode with Klossy in the summers of 2016 and 2017, while working as a high school physics and computer science teacher during the school year. She believes that all students should have access to the empowering challenge of a coding education.

Jeff has an undergraduate degree in neuroscience and American literature from Baylor University. Upon graduating in 2011, Jeff was placed as an English teacher in Phoenix, Arizona with Teach For America, and earned his M.Ed. in secondary education from Arizona State University. In 2015, Jeff began teaching beginner courses in software engineering, iOS app development, and web design to high school students in Los Angeles, California and New York City, and has come to believe that learning to code is the most empowering experience a high school student can have. He believes that coding is joyful, and that all students deserve access to this life-changing form of fun.
