About Olivia Smith

Welcome to the world of engaging learning through coding! I, Olivia Smith, am passionate about sparking creativity and problem-solving skills in young minds through the fascinating realm of computer programming. Residing in the vibrant community of Blairsville, PA, I have devoted the past three years to teaching Scratch, a user-friendly programming language designed specifically for children. My mission is to transform the often daunting concept of coding into an enjoyable and accessible adventure for kids.

Teaching Journey

My teaching journey began when I realized the immense potential coding holds for enhancing critical thinking and logical reasoning among the youth. Since then, I have been committed to creating a stimulating environment where learning and fun coalesce seamlessly. By tailoring my coding classes to the unique interests and learning paces of each child, I enable my students to not only grasp the foundational principles of programming but to love the process of learning itself.

I understand that each child's journey in coding is unique, and I excel at guiding them from their first 'Hello, world!' to complex game and project development. My dynamic curriculum is packed with interactive coding games and collaborative projects that bolster both individual and collective learning experiences.
