Overview
Code with Chompers is a STEM education initiative focused on fostering early interest in computer science. Through workshops, events, and classroom activities, it exposes K-6 students to programming, robotics, and computational thinking - with plenty of Play-Doh involved.
My Role
I worked on Code with Chompers with Dr. Janyl Jumadinova. I did not build every lesson, but I helped teach the workshops, contributed activity materials, and worked to make the program's website codewithchompers.com more accessible. Teaching real kids with this material is also where a lot of my own lessons, like the Play-Doh circuits, come from.
Why It Matters
- Building future skills: computational thinking helps kids in every subject.
- Increasing diversity in tech: reaching students before stereotypes set in.
- Encouraging innovation: kids learn that they can make technology, not just use it.
- Bridging the digital divide: free programming for communities that need it.
