Hi Everyone My name is Ashley- I am currently the science specialist for Alpine School District. I am always looking for ways to excite kids and teachers about science and this opportunity with [CODE.org](http://CODE.org) is something I am very excited about! I don’t know a lot about code so I am excited to learn alongside you all! ---

Hi my name is Paula and teach 6th grade science as well as robotics and coding. I am really looking forward to this dynamic professional development and meeting fellow science educators. I also love to teach my 6 year old daughter and 8 year old son how to code. In fact, both of them help to tutor many of my Middle School girls in our after school Girls Who Code Club. I am really looking forward to learning how to use CS in Science. ---

Hi kiki - I am Phillip from Dallas Texas. I teach at Trinidad Garza Early College High School on the Mountain View College campus. I work in a variety of programs from rising eighth graders, to dual-credit high school-college, and college sophomores. My pilot course for CS in Science this year will be environmental biology and hope to extend this program into my summer workshops with middle-school Girl Scouts and our students that work on Earth Day.

Hi Renette- You have a diverse teaching skill set. I have taught for 13 years and often changed subjects due to the needs of my school. I think that the CS in Science can be deployed across subjects and this holds a strong appeal for me. I enjoyed Hour of Code too! Phillip ---

Hi Rosa. I’m curious how we can use [code.org](http://code.org) with our classes in both a meaningful and time efficient way. I’m sure the students will love it. ---

Hi, My name is Melissa and I am a science teacher in Miami, FL. I have just finished my eighth year in teaching at AWK8. I have been teaching eighth grade science and physical science for the last four years. For the last two years, our school has had a STEM Integrated Academy. I have no experience with coding, but I am looking forward to learning. I know that this is going to be a great addition to our STEM Academy along with my other science classes. ---

Hi, My name is Debbie and I have been teaching for 12 years at Riviera Middle School in Miami, I have taught multiple subjects and 2015-2016 was my first year teaching 6th grade science. I started at Miami Dade many years ago and wanted a degree in computer science but life happens and I had to leave school and work to take care of my mother. I went back to college and studied Information Technology. Then worked for years as data entry, computer operator, etc. Then I started learning programming while I worked for a hotel and restaurant redistributor using SQL Plus. I worked for them for 15 years and left to become a teacher because I was given advice to become an ESE teacher in order to help my son who had emotional and behavioral disabilities. I started in ESE, then got my middle grades integrated certification, and then got my technology education certification. I am part of our magnet program and teach robotics and I used to teach graphic design. I have used [Code.org](http://Code.org) via Hour of Code for the last couple of years. The students love it. I am looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow and learning more to help my students. ---

I have some of the coding background and you have the science background. Hopefully we can help each other. ---

I like the idea of getting ideas from other teachers as well. It appears some of us have more coding experience and some have more science experience. It seems like a great mix for helping each other. ---

My name is Lee Ann. I have been teaching for 14 years. I have taught high school A.P. Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, and Biology I and II. Since relocating to Florida 4 years ago, I have been teaching 7th grade life science at Westglades Middle School in Parkland. I am also a registered nurse. I have no experience with coding but am looking forward to learning about it. ---

Hello Lydia, I also have minimal to no experience with computer science. Like you, I want to learn something new that I can share with my 7th grade science students. Many of them love computers so I think this will hold interest for them. ---

My name is Karen and I just completed my 17th year teaching middle school science (12 years of physical science, 5 years of life science). Most of my teaching career was spent in SW Florida but I’ve just now finished my third year in Henrico County, in the Richmond, Virginia area. I have absolutely the minimal experience with coding as one could possibly have. I remember back when I was in middle school we had a program called LOGO where you had to create a code for your “turtle” to make certain shapes on the computer screen. Does anybody else remember doing that? Or making a LEGO car move based on computer directions? Eons ago, I know! ---

Hello Fellow Educators. My name is Ruth Ennis. I teach Earth-Space Science at Lauderdale Lakes Middle School in South Florida.I’m entering my 3rd year of teaching at the Middle School level. I have some experience with coding since I took an Introduction to object-oriented programming course for my Masters degree. I am Java literate, but I have never taught coding to anyone. I’m excited to incorporate computer modelling into Science instruction and I think the kids will be engaged with coding in Science as well. ---

Hi Renette. We are neighbors! I am just down the road from you at Lauderdale Lakes Middle. Hopefully, we can meet and collaborate! ---
