Sponsor and Instructors

My name is Tanner Clark and I have been coding for nearly 8 years now. After spending my undergraduate at James Madison University studying math and theatre education, I took a drastic turn and started learning python and databases on my own. Even though I now code full time, I still have a passion for education! I've taught in kindergarten, middle-school, and high school classrooms as well as computer science and English classes in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I am super excited to get started and am thrilled to see what we will build together!

Fun Fact: My high school had a "bring your cow to school day".
