About Harper Brown

I'm Harper Brown, a zealous and experienced coding instructor specializing in teaching children coding through the dynamic world of Scratch. My passion for coding and education has anchored me in Aransas Pass, TX, for over 6 years, where I've been dedicated to making learning an adventure. I strongly believe in the power of playfulness in education, which is why my coding classes are not only instructional but also a great deal of fun!

Career History

My journey began with a blend of computer science and child psychology studies, which crystallized my mission to tailor the learning experience to the young mind. Shortly after my graduation, I established a coding club in a local school. The club transformed into a community favorite, and since then, I've been offering private tutoring sessions alongside running regular workshops in libraries and community centers. Over these years, I've had the privilege of guiding hundreds of kids through the foundational building blocks of programming with Scratch.

Expertise

My core expertise lies in crafting age-appropriate coding curricula that emphasize creative thinking and problem-solving. I focus on Scratch because of its visual interface that kids naturally find appealing and intuitive. With my guidance, students journey from basic drag-and-drop code blocks to the creation of sophisticated games and animated stories. My approach is hinged on the belief that every child is a natural-born creator, and coding is an empowering tool to bring their imagination to life.
