Welcome to the interactive world of coding for kids, where I, Amelia Jones, bring the thrill of creation and problem-solving to young, bright minds in Allentown, PA. With over two years of dedicated experience in teaching Scratch—a visual programming language designed specifically to help children learn to code—I am deeply passionate about unlocking the potential in each child. My goal is to not just impart coding skills, but to ignite a lasting love for technology and innovation.
Career Highlights:
Through my career, I have had the joy of seeing many young learners transform from technology users to proud creators.
