About

Hello! I'm Harper Brown, your friendly neighborhood Scratch coding tutor, based in the charming town of New Wilmington, PA. With nearly a decade of experience under my belt, I have committed myself to the mission of transforming the way kids learn to code. I believe in the power of interactive learning, and that's why I've made it my goal to craft coding classes that are not just informative but also incredibly fun.

Coding isn't just about typing commands into a computer; it's about thinking creatively, solving problems, and bringing ideas to life. In my classes, children don't just learn to code; they become mini-inventors, game designers, and storytellers. I take pride in guiding students through the adventure of Scratch programming, watching them grow from curious novices to confident creators.
