Hi. My name is Lora and I am a Math Intervention Specialist and Computer Science teacher at a middle school in NJ for grades 6 - 8. I have never used Vidcode before but thought it may be a way to attract more students and keep the ones I have engaged. I have used code.org and scratch a lot before. Looking forward to seeing what it is all about!

Hi, Everyone! I’m Kelli. I’ll be teaching multimedia this year at Kyrene Middle School in Tempe, AZ. I’m formerly an instructional technology coach, 4th grade teacher, 1st grade teacher, and elementary librarian, but not all at the same time. I’m excited to get some ideas for how to integrate coding into the middle school curriculum!

Hello! My name is Carolyn and I am a Library Assistant at a public library. I work mainly with kids and their parents, though I have been branching off into adults and working on getting more teens into the library. I’ve wanted to do a coding club for a while, and I have very little experience with coding for my own entertainment.

Hi everyone- I’m Michelle… I teach a STEM Robotics course to 7th and 8th graders in Camden County NJ. We do Robotics for about a marking period and the remainder of the course is really anything STEM… anything from additional coding to working with our power tools in the back of the shop. I’ve been teaching for 6 years now and love my position!

Hello, I am Tranesia Brown. I teach Computer Science to 9-12 grade at Butler County Career Academy. I technically started using Vidcode last year. I didn’t get far and the pandemic happened. My students loved it. This will be my third year in the classroom.
