I am an IT professional with many years of experience in software development with languages such as Java, Javascript and I have a Master of Science degree in Software Engineering.
I have been teaching coding to girls and boys both online and in the classroom for over a decade. I've taught using a variety of technologies such as Scratch and Lego Mindstorms and lately, due to its great success, I've focused on programming courses with Minecraft.
In my courses, I like to teach in a simple way with clear steps so that students can get their hands on code right away and get their experiences while having fun.
The best way to start a career in IT is to understand that coding is fun.
