Sofia Smith: Inspiring Young Minds Through the Joy of Coding
Welcome to a world where coding becomes as fun and engaging as the games your children love to play. My name is Sofia Smith, and I am your guide to unlocking the imaginative potential of young minds through the wonders of Scratch and Roblox. Based in the quaint town of Pennsburg, PA, I have dedicated the past four years to transforming the daunting concept of coding into a delightful adventure for every child.
With a passion for education and a knack for creativity, I bring learning to life in vibrant ways, ensuring that the bridge between play and education isn't just crossed but traversed with excitement and enthusiasm.
Career History
My journey began with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a heartfelt desire to contribute meaningfully to the next generation. Having discovered the transformative power of technology, I set out to mold my expertise into a launchpad for children's careers in STEM.
Before settling into the vibrant community of Pennsburg, I spent a couple of years honing my skills as a software developer, witnessing firsthand the impact and importance of early tech literacy. This realization steered me toward education, where I found my true calling - teaching coding to children.
Since then, I have had the privilege of mentoring hundreds of eager young minds, many of whom have gone on to build their own games and projects with skills they learned in my classroom.
Expertise
My sessions are tailored to nurture your child's innate curiosity and build their confidence in problem-solving through coding. I specialize in:
Scratch: Crafting the foundation for children ages 7-11. I guide them through interactive storytelling and game creation, instilling the basics of logic and programming in a visually captivating way.
Roblox: Offering older kids ages 12-16 a platform to design and develop their own games. I use the boundless potential of Roblox to teach advanced coding concepts through Lua scripting.
Equipped with a trove of custom-crafted educational materials and a library of coding games for kids, I'm committed to ensuring that each student receives the mentorship and resources they need to thrive.
