About

Hello, I’m Harper Williams, your friendly neighborhood Scratch coding instructor from the beautiful community of Stansbury Park, UT! I have transformed my passion for programming and education into a mission: to make learning to code an adventure filled with fun and creativity for children. Over the past two years, I've dedicated myself to teaching Scratch—a visually intuitive programming language perfect for kids just starting their coding journey or those aiming to enhance their skills. My goal is to unlock each student's potential by turning complex concepts into playful experiences that lay a strong foundation for their future in technology.

Professional Background

As a dedicated Scratch educator, I have spent the last two years honing my skills and curriculum to provide top-tier coding education to children of all levels. With a background in computer science and child psychology, I understand both the technical aspects of coding and the ways children learn best. This dual expertise ensures that my courses are not only educationally sound but also tailored to young minds. I've had the pleasure of guiding numerous students through their first forays into coding, many of whom have gone on to create their own impressive games and projects.

My teaching style is centered around engagement and interactivity. I believe that children learn best when they are having fun and are actively involved in the learning process. To this end, I incorporate a variety of coding games and interactive challenges that captivate students' imaginations and encourage creative problem-solving. Each lesson is crafted to be age-appropriate and aligns with my students' individual learning paces, ensuring that they fully understand each concept before moving on. Through a positive and supportive environment, I aim to instill confidence in my students and a love for learning that extends beyond the virtual classroom.
