About Emma Brown

Welcome to the exciting world of coding education with me, Emma Brown! My passion lies in igniting young minds with the power of programming through interactive and playful learning experiences. Based in the scenic Keystone, South Dakota, I've dedicated over five years to educating children in the fundamentals of coding using Scratch and Roblox, two platforms that I believe are gateways to the vast universe of computer science.

I embarked on this journey five years ago with a mission to make coding accessible and enjoyable for kids. My professional background is deeply rooted in computer science, with a focus on educational technology. Over the years, I've honed my skills to craft a curriculum that is as entertaining as it is educational. I've had the pleasure of watching my students grow from novices to confident young coders who are capable of creating their own games and projects with a strong understanding of logical reasoning and problem-solving abilities.

I use a variety of coding games and projects to cater to different learning styles, ensuring each child can thrive. I encourage curiosity and love to see my students challenge themselves, pushing their creative limits with each new task.
