"I was really impressed with this course. The lessons were packed with meaningful information while still being geared toward kids. The instruction was easy to understand, the videos were fun, and the assignments were engaging/interactive. Even as an adult, I learned a ton and enjoyed myself! Above all, I am just excited that my kids will have a jumpstart on these important real-world concepts... I would recommend this course to any homeschool parents looking for a fun, high-quality course for their kiddos. Thank you Ms. Ellie!"

In addition to five years of industry experience, I taught college-level programming courses and spent a year teaching elementary and middle school students how to code.
