About

Hello! My name is Harper Brown, and I have a passion for igniting the spark of creativity and problem-solving through coding. Living in the vibrant community of Cheney, WA, I specialize in teaching Scratch, a block-based visual programming language that is ideal for kids just diving into the world of coding. With a blend of play and education, I guide my young learners to not only understand the concepts of programming but also to apply them in creating their own digital wonders. When I'm not teaching, I'm continually exploring new ways to make learning interactive and fun, often crafting new coding games that keep my classroom lively and exciting.
