Classroom Culture

Active Learning

I like students talking, moving, and engaging with each other. The lab is alive.

Project Focused

I don't like giving tests or specific homework. We work on meaningful projects daily.

Student Voices

I listen to student voices. I am always fair. Learning should be fun.

Hands-On

You won't listen to me too much; you'll be doing things often. We build constantly.

The Reality of Code

Coding can be time-consuming and tedious. We embrace the struggle together to find the solution.
