This is Ty Stevenson, and I represent Code’s Washington State regional partner, AVID. I’d love to chat with you more about the Code’s PD and curriculum and help direct you towards the answers of any questions you might have. Off hand, Marianne Costello–and educator in the Edmonds School District–is actually a Code.org facilitator, and might also be a good resource for you. Feel free to contact me at code@avid.org at your convenience and we can set up a time to connect after Thanksgiving.

My name is Elaine S. McIlroy-Hargrove. I teach Fundamentals in our computer science class to Kindergarten through 5th grade. This is the first year for implementation of this program in Edmond Public Schools.
Last year I taught Discoveries to middle school, 6th through 8th grade, at a private parochial school. There was very little support for the program, and, in fact, the technology position was eliminated, so there went the Discoveries class.

Hello everyone! My name is Renee Wilson and I currently teach 6th grade at Cedar Way Elementary in Mountlake Terrace, WA. I am joining this community as a way to grow professionally and learn more about teaching CS. I have taught CS using code.org in the past, but I switched grade levels this year and thought this PD would be a great opportunity to become more familiar with the curriculum.
Previously, I have taken in-person PD using CS Fundamentals within my school district. Additionally, I have taken courses from Kiki herself at NCCE conferences in Seattle. I earned my Master’s degree in Digital Education Leadership from Seattle Pacific University and studied teaching computer science in my program. I am passionate about using technology effectively in the classroom and teaching my students to be responsible digital citizens!

Hello! My name is Sierra D’Amelio. I teach kindergarten in Mountlake Terrace, WA.

I took some years off to have kids who are now in Kindergarten and Fourth Grade.

I have worked with ELL, homeless, and highly capable learners and am interested to see how to apply Code to each and every group and individual!
My ten year old daughter has used Code.org for years at her school. Last school year, her teacher had them program Obots as a fun STEM activity. Both my kids love rockets and space, science and programming, math and building things. So, beyond this and science kits through school, I am new to Coding. I am 36, so this was not taught in my personal schooling as a kid.
I love World Class Chocolate (Baskin Robbins) but anything with Caramel, Mint, Oats, Cinnamon is loved by me.
