About Mason

Greetings! I’m Mason Jones, your friendly neighborhood Scratch programming guide based in the vibrant community of Fair Oaks Ranch, TX. With a spirit that thrives on the joys of discovery, I have dedicated the past three years to teaching children the wonders of coding through Scratch. As an educator with a flair for creativity, my aim is to turn every lesson into an adventure, ensuring that your child not only learns to code but also loves the process.

I believe that coding is more than just typing instructions into a computer; it's a form of expression, problem-solving, and an essential skill in today's digital world. As such, my approach is tailored to make learning as exciting as playing a game. I pride myself in crafting classes that are both educational and wildly entertaining, where students don't just absorb information—they experience it!
