About James Brown

Welcome to the world of creative coding! I'm James Brown, your friendly neighborhood Scratch sensei. Based in the lovely town of Chester, SC, I have dedicated the past two years to transforming young minds through the joy of coding. My classes aren't just about learning; they're about experiencing the thrill of creation, innovation, and problem-solving. My aim is to ignite a passion for technology in your child that burns as brightly as it does in me.

Background

Born into a family that cherished education and technology, I gravitated towards computers at a young age. In college, I majored in Computer Science, which cemented my love for programming and teaching. After graduating, I discovered Scratch and saw it as the perfect tool to introduce kids to coding. Since then, I've been helping youngsters in Chester discover their potential as digital creators.

Expertise

I specialize in teaching Scratch, a block-based visual programming language and online community targeted primarily at children. My expertise lies in making complex concepts easily digestible. Kids walk into my class with curiosity and leave with the skills to build their very own video games, animations, and interactive stories.

By fostering a fun and inclusive classroom environment, I ensure that every child feels comfortable expressing their creativity. Whether your child is a total beginner or ready to level up their Scratch skills, I adapt my approach to meet their individual needs. My focus is not just on teaching coding—it's about developing critical thinking, project design, and logical reasoning skills.
