Hello!  My name is Shawn Walk.  I am the owner and lead instructor at Code2Discover.  I look forward to being your child's teacher as they discover the power of coding.  I have been an educator for over 17 years.  I was a 4th/5th grade teacher for 11 years at an elementary school north of Pittsburgh.  During my time at that school, I focused on project-based learning, engaging students with real-world tasks that allowed them to see how what they were learning is used in the real world.  I also had a passion for technology and worked to include that in my teaching.  I developed several robotics and coding programs during my time as a teacher and helped my students learn essential 21st century skills in a fun and exciting way. 

About 5 years ago, I started my own company in Pittsburgh that partnered with schools to offer coding, Minecraft, and other creative classes.  We were one of the first organizations in the Pittsburgh region to use Minecraft to create engaging programs for students.  I now hope to take this type of fun and creative learning beyond the Pittsburgh region to students all over the world.

My mission is to help students discover their ability to create and shape the world around them through coding.

I have an active Pennsylvania Teaching Certification and a Masters Degree in education.  I look forward to helping your child discover their creative powers.
