“Teaching is all about teaching each other. Everyone’s ideas should come together and paint one cohesive picture. There is always more than one way to reach a solution. Learning is not only about learning content it is learning about each other.”
-Miranda Beeson
“Computer Science is not about teaching a student how to code or how to use a computer.
It is about teaching a student that no matter what the challenge is it can be overcome.” -Nate Vogel
“Education empowers students by giving them the skill set and confidence to solve
problems
in their lives and change the world.” -Chris Malone
“I love seeing students develop confidence in themselves and pride in their work!” –Clair Mulvihill
