The most challenging task of trying to teach code in a way that is authentic to students' interests and lives is being able to show code coding is authentic to my own interests.

I don’t come to code through a love of tech. I have a poetry degree and never caught the robot bug in my youth.  I built model planes and used hot pins to simulate battle damage. My electronics kits are still in mint condition.

In this episode of Beyond the Hour of Code I share some of the projects I am currently working on to develop my own skills and confidence.
