Created by a Teacher and Coder
Together, Ace and Emily teamed up to make a practical guide for Ontario teachers to deliver quality coding lessons to students.
Hi, I'm Ace!
I am a UofT Computer Science graduate and have over 10 years of professional programming experience at IBM, TD Bank and Loyalty One. I will teach you coding concepts from the new Ontario curriculum using simple, real life examples.
Hi, I'm Emily!
I'm an Ontario primary teacher with over 8 years of teaching experience and a Masters of Education. I was lost with the new coding curriculum, then Ace taught me the concepts and we teamed up to create a practical guide.
