Welcome to a world where coding becomes exhilarating fun! I am Mason Smith, your dedicated guide on this thrilling journey through the lands of Scratch and Roblox coding. Operating from the creative hub of Lafayette Hill, PA, I've devoted the past 6 years to igniting a passion for learning and innovation in young minds. With a philosophy deeply rooted in the belief that education should be engaging and enthralling, I offer coding classes that transform the usual learning experience into an unforgettable adventure for kids.
Teaching Journey:
My teaching odyssey commenced half a dozen years ago, driven by a vision to mesh play with education. I recognized the potential of interactive platforms like Scratch and Roblox in fostering not only coding expertise but also critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, filled with leaps of creativity, milestones of learning, and endless moments of joy watching children create their very own coding masterpieces.
Specializations:
My instructional compass is attuned to two powerful and versatile crafting tools: Scratch and Roblox, each with its unique spectrum of learning opportunities.
Scratch: A stepping stone into the programming world for children, it's made vibrant and easy thanks to its visual blocks-based interface. I specialize in helping kids understand the logic of coding and breathe life into their vibrant animations, interactive stories, and games.
Roblox: For the slightly more advanced young creators, developing games in Roblox's immersive environment beckons. Here, I focus on game design principles and scripting with Lua, guiding students through constructing their digital wonders, from simple puzzles to elaborate multiplayer experiences.
Q: What age group do you cater to?
A: I happily welcome children of varied ages, typically from 7 to 14 years, tailoring my approach to fit the learning needs and progression pace of each student.
Q: How does your class structure look?
A: My classes are structured around individual project milestones while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to each child's learning style. Every session is a balanced mix of instruction, hands-on practice, and, most importantly, fun!
Q: Can a complete beginner join your courses?
A: Absolutely! My courses are designed to accommodate beginners and steadily nurture them to become confident, proficient creators.
