Hello! I'm Mia Johnson, your enthusiastic and dedicated Scratch coding instructor from the serene town of Sturgeon Bay, WI. With a playful heart and a mind for logic, I believe that every child has the potential to become a creator in the digital world.

I am deeply passionate about teaching young minds how to think critically and solve problems while having an absolute blast!

Patience and Encouragement: Every student is like a unique puzzle, and I am patient and determined in helping them fit their pieces together, providing encouragement every step of the way.

Communication: I maintain an open line of communication with parents, sharing regular updates on their child's progress and offering strategies for continued growth at home.
