In the advent of an increasingly digitized age, there is an emphasis placed on majors surrounding STEM. We want to provide the opportunity for students to gain exposure to coding at an earlier age while simultaneously inciting their interest in the subject through the means of an entertaining platform. Through our Diversity Initiative, we aim to encourage individuals from different races, genders, ethnicities, and backgrounds to embrace this fascinating world of computer science.
Our founders Nicholas Kuo and Amy Yang are high school graduates from Parsippany Hills High School (and current undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania and University of California, Berkeley), both hoping to utilize their knowledge of coding to teach the younger generation of the joys that can be found through coding.

Nicholas is a high school graduate who has taught children using the platform Tynker for over 2 years. He has extensive knowledge on Java programming, understanding the logic behind solving complex coding problems. Having taught elementary students for over 6 years, he is experienced with interacting with students and making their learning environment one that inspires passion in the given subject area. A current intern at a cloud-based company in Beijing, Nicholas sees the direction the coding world is heading and understands the necessity of learning code at a young age.

Amy is a high school graduate who loves to envision different robots she would like to build, engineer this technology from scratch, and code these creations into life. With her comprehensive experience in utilizing the engineering platform Arduino, Amy understands the logic behind solving many of today's technological problems not only from the perspective of a coder but also from that of an engineer. Teaching elementary school students for 7 years in subjects varying from Chinese to business to STEM, Amy understands the patience and responsibility required to stimulate curiosity in her respective pupils.
