About Lucas Williams

Hello, parents and young programmers! My name is Lucas Williams, and I am passionately dedicated to introducing the fascinating world of coding to children in a way that is not only effective but also thoroughly enjoyable. With 9 years of experience under my belt, I have made it my mission to inspire creativity and problem-solving skills in young minds through the use of Scratch, a user-friendly programming language designed especially for kids. My approach to teaching encompasses a fun, interactive style where your child doesn't just learn to code – they play to code!

Background

I began my journey in Lincoln, RI, where I noticed a need for quality coding education that emphasizes the joy of creation. My teaching career has been focused on bridging that gap, and over nearly a decade, I have honed my skills to cater to children of various ages and aptitudes. My role goes beyond mere instruction; I am a guide, a mentor, and an advocate for your child’s future in our increasingly digital world.

Having conducted countless coding classes, I have developed a knack for crafting coding games that not only entertain but also imbue important computational thinking skills. I take pride in tailoring my approach to meet the individual needs of each student, ensuring they are not only consumers of technology but also capable creators.
