Welcome to CS Principles: Introduce Yourself!

My name is Travis Conley. I teach 9th grade. I am most excited to teach any text coding in CS Principles. Hopefully they use Python!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Chad Miller
I will be teaching 9th and 10th grade for the first time next year.
I am most excited to learn about what I might already know and how I can grow as a lifelong learner and teacher.

My name is Venkat, and I’m a computer science teacher (part time) from South India, currently teaching 9th and 10th grade. This year, I plan to teach Artificial Intelligence, and I’m especially excited about using Code.org. It’s a simple and easy-to-use LMS platform that helps students grasp complex concepts with ease. I’ve been using Code.org for over two years, and it’s been an exciting and rewarding experience. Thank you, Code.org!

Hi, my name is Bob Zhang. I teach robotics and computer science at the K–12 level. This year, I will be working with students in upper elementary and middle school. I’m very excited about Code.org because it offers a structured and engaging way to introduce students to computer science and computational thinking.

Hello, I am teaching CS Principles for the first time as a High School teacher. I have been a TED teacher for 3 years, I have incorporated a lot of block coding in class, but the last time I actually coded was in high school in 1993! Some of it is coming back to me, but my brain is being stretched!

Hello, I’ve been teaching AP CSP for about 10 years now but wanted to try code.org for the first time. I’m most excited to learn a new coding language that I don’t know yet.

Here I am 1 year later. Only 10 months to go!

Hey Jamie!! Thanks for checking back in. I hope these next 10 months fly by and you’ll be able to enjoy retirement soon. :grinning_face:

Hi! I am Miguel Hernandez, Mister Miguel for my students. I teach STEM and CS for elementary and middle schooler at The Expedition School in Hillsborough, NC. I am very excited about using Code.org next school year.

Hi! I am Re. I am teaching this course after not teaching computers for 20 years. I help create the curriculum and was instrumental in getting this course to be a graduation requirement. Although, I try to keep up with technology I am excited about the new lessons that are now a part of the curriculum.

Excited to update my own knowledge as I was an electrical and computer engineer in my first career, but that was decades ago.

Hello everyone,
