I’ve always loved being around children and playing with them, and teaching allows me to combine that with passing knowledge which will be extremely useful to them in the future. I love seeing how excited the students are about coding and about going through the whole creative process of creating a game or a website.

I first started coding when I was about 12 years old. I remember browsing the shelves of a municipal library and stumbling randomly on this very thin book called “Create your own website in HTML” (or something along those lines). I started there and then continued teaching myself combining books and online resources. It was a long way to learn how to create a full, interactive, professionally looking website but I enjoyed the excitement of creating something from scratch all by myself. It was really fulfilling and it opened a door to a completely new world for me. I believe that learning how to code is crucial in today’s world; understanding the logic behind computers is absolutely crucial in a world which is controlled by algorithms, even if they choose not to pursue a career in IT. Coding is a great exercise for the mind! It is a logic-driven environment which will have the students develop essential skills and a way of thinking that will be useful not only in Informatics but also in Math, Chemistry, or Physics.
