About Harper Brown

Hello! I'm Harper Brown, and I am passionate about bringing the excitement and creativity of coding to young minds here in Fayetteville, WV. My goal is to not just teach coding, but to make it a playful and engaging experience that will spark a lifelong interest in technology and problem-solving. I believe that through coding, children can gain a powerful tool to express themselves, harness their creativity, and build confidence in their abilities.

Professional Experience

For the past four years, I've specialized in teaching Scratch, an intuitive programming language designed specifically for kids. My journey began in a local elementary school where I conducted after-school coding workshops. Since then, I've expanded my reach to include summer camps, weekend coding clubs, and private tutoring sessions. Throughout my career, I've had the joy of guiding children through their first steps in coding to creating intricate games and projects they can call their own.
