About

Hello! I'm Lucas Jones, a Scratch aficionado who's passionate about unveiling the vibrant world of coding to kids. Here in Central Point, Oregon, coding isn't just a skill—it's an adventure I embark upon with my students. My approach is simple: make learning so captivating that the line between playing and programming becomes beautifully blurred.

Background

With two years of dedicated experience teaching Scratch, I've honed my ability to communicate complex concepts in ways that resonate with young minds. Beyond the essentials of coding, I help my students develop problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and creativity. The joy I find in witnessing their "Eureka!" moments is the driving force behind every lesson I craft.

Expertise

From whimsical animated stories to strategic games, my expertise lies in translating the abstract into the accessible. I specialize in:

Introducing the fundamentals of coding through Scratch's visual programming language.

Crafting tailor-made coding games that are as entertaining as they are educational.

Guiding students along a clear, progressive path from beginner to advanced Scratch projects.

Encouraging independent thinking and continual learning, empowering kids to create their masterpieces.

FAQs

Q: Is Scratch suitable for my child?

A: Absolutely! Scratch is designed for children aged 8 and above, but I've successfully introduced younger kids to coding using a modified approach. It's never too early to start!

Q: How do your classes accommodate different skill levels?

A: Each class is tailored to meet your child where they are. Beginners will get a grasp on the basics, while more advanced students will be challenged with intricate projects that enhance their coding fluency.

Q: What does a typical class with you look like?

A: Expect a mix of instruction, hands-on practice, and of course, fun! Classes start with a mini-lesson followed by interactive activities where kids apply new knowledge. Finally, we often end with a showcase where students share their creations.

Q: How do you measure student progress?

A: Progress is measured through milestone projects, individual assessments, and, most importantly, the student's growing confidence in expressing their ideas through code.
