Hello, my name is Angie Skellchock and I am a teacher with MCPS in Montgomery County Maryland. I teach for two .5 positions in MCPS, one of which is working with elementary aged students. Several times a year we provide STEM/STEAM nights for the students in the title I schools that we provide services to. Coding was one of the areas that we focused on last year and it was the first time that I had really ever participated in coding. I saw this course on our Professional Development and thought it would be a great opportunity for me to learn more. Looking forward to seeing what this course has to offer.

Good afternoon all,
My name is Yona Andrew Rose. I am a fifth grade teacher at New Hope-Solebury Upper Elementary School in New Hope, PA. I teach a little bit of everything. I’ve allowed my kids to play inside of Code.com and other CS type sites. I see where the world is going and where many of my kids will find their future careers and social events in the computer world. I love a good Moose Tracks when it’s time to eat ice cream!
Hi everyone! I’m a library media specialist in Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland. I plan on teaching the code.org curriculum with Kindergarten and 1st grade students this year.
Welcome Lillian! We love librarians!
Hi, I am a Librarian in Prince William County Public Schools in Virginia. I am interested in learning how to teach coding to elementary school students because it is part of my curriculum. I have done some very basic activities on the code.org website, but definitely need to learn more before teaching others. I am looking forward to learning something new
Hello! My name is Jennifer Bloom and I am an elementary school principal in New Hope-Solebury School District. This is about 50 minutes north of Philadelphia, PA. Our school is beginning a CS program in the fall and I am looking to learn so I can help lead! Thanks for welcoming me!
Mt name is Ed Dohler and I am a second grade teacher in Silver Spring, MD. I am excited to teach coding to my students this year!
Greetings all, My name is Maja Andersen, I live in Phoenix AZ. I am not a teacher! I am a retired engineer and currently a Girl Scout co-leader with a small troop of Daisies and Brownies. (K-3rd grade), I have 2 grand kids, one is a Brownie, and the other a Cub scout. I am leading the Robotics badges for the girls, which includes an intro to programming. I am also doing a summer school for the grand kids to limit the summer learning loss. I appreciate that the courses are laid out with a good description of expectations. I am not sure what the journal and faces are for though. I am not on twitter but I am on Facebook.
Hello! My name is Emy Griffith. I live in the Seattle area and work a little bit north in Edmonds School district. I currently teach social and emotional skills to our K-6 students. I am interested in being a part of this community to deepen my understanding of the activities and expectations of our students as they work through the code.org curriculum.
Excited to get started! I’m on twitter @emygriffith
My name is Rebecca Kangabe, I am an IT professional currently working at a University.
I live in Kampala, Uganda. I have a five year old son and I recently decided to teach him how to program and thought why not teach others while I am at it.
I am not a teacher by profession though I do teach communications technologies at the University and my background is computer science.
I am excited to have found code.org as I hope it will teach me how to communicate and teach young people.
I am very lazy with checking my social media

Hi my name is Laura Sutter and I am currently a 3rd grade teacher transitioning into being a media specialist next year. I live and teach in Rockville, MD outside of Washington DC.
I think this will be a great way to build my background in this topic and to have a community to share ideas and resources and suggestions on implementing code.org at my school.
Hi My Name is Debbie. I am a second grade teacher in Maryland. I am just looking to get out of my comfort zone.
Hello! My name is Abby Taylor and I live in Seattle and teach in the Edmonds School District. I teach High School Math (Algebra 1 and Geometry) and I’m interested in learning more about how I can bring code.org into my classroom.
Hi @wolfsecho! The journal is for students to document what they learned. We find that journaling really helps students think about their learning process. The faces are a way younger learners can quickly show how they are feeling as they progress through lessons.
My name is Brian LeCompte, I am a third grade teacher at Odenton Elementary School, Odenton Maryland, just outside of our State Capital of Annapolis. I have seen my media specialist teach an hour of Code each year with my students and see so many new Code stand-alone shops, and summer camps around this summer that I am curious what all of the fuss is about. We also have one hour per week assigned to teach in the computer lab, but lack any kind of curriculum. I feel this would give me something worthwhile to teach my students each week in the computer lab. I am interested in this community because I am interested in a community of like=minded individuals that can support one another in this endeavor.
