About

Hello! I am Liam Jones, a passionate coding instructor hailing from the beautiful town of Green Hill, TN. With a decade of experience in teaching Scratch, I am committed to sparking creativity and a love for technology in our next generation. My mission is simple: to make the journey of learning to code a fun-filled adventure for every child that steps into my virtual or physical classroom. My pleasure is seeing young minds light up when they successfully bring their ideas to life through code.

Teaching Journey

My teaching journey began 10 years ago when I noticed a need for accessible and entertaining coding education for kids. Since then, I have dedicated myself to developing a curriculum that not only teaches the fundamentals of programming but also incorporates critical thinking and problem-solving skills through the creation of games and interactive projects in Scratch. It's been a profoundly rewarding decade, watching children evolve from technology users to technology creators.

Specializations

I specialize in teaching coding to children using Scratch, an intuitive, block-based programming language developed by MIT. My programs cater to all skill levels:

Beginner: Introducing the core concepts of Scratch through simple animations and stories.

Intermediate: Building upon the basics to create more complex games and projects.

Advanced: Encouraging students to develop their own original projects and dive deeper into the capabilities of Scratch, including the use of variables, functions, and more.

I excel in creating coding games that not only keep the learning process exciting but also tailor experiences to individual learning styles and paces.
