I worked hard studying math and science in school and college.

Watching the students tackle and master the concepts each week is very satisfying. Then I really enjoy watching my students help each other debug and build their code.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-your-vision-for-the-future-of-coding-and-kids\"><strong>What is your vision for the future of coding and kids?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coding-teaching-for-kids-fiona-dossin-race.jpg\" alt=\"Fiona running\" class=\"wp-image-23264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coding-teaching-for-kids-fiona-dossin-race.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coding-teaching-for-kids-fiona-dossin-race-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>My hope for the future of kids and coding is that kids will take the practical skill of coding and combine it with their imaginations to solve problems and create amazing technology.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-you-aren-t-working-what-do-you-enjoy-doing-hobbies\"><strong>When you aren\u2019t working, what do you enjoy doing (hobbies)?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When I am not working, I like to go running and train for races. My family likes to travel, often we go to National Parks for hiking, or to the mountains for skiing. However, most of my free time is spent at either my kids\u2019 hockey practices or sailing practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-you-could-have-one-teacher-super-power-what-would-it-be\"><strong>If you could have one teacher super-power, what would it be?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coding-teaching-for-kids-fiona-dossin-skiing.jpg\" alt=\"Fiona skiing\" class=\"wp-image-23265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coding-teaching-for-kids-fiona-dossin-skiing.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coding-teaching-for-kids-fiona-dossin-skiing-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If I could have one teacher super-power, it would be to have an answer for any what-if question a student asks. It\u2019s great to see kids trying to figure out how to apply coding to situations, but some of their scenarios can be quite outlandish. It can take some thinking to come up with an equally complex response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-you-think-is-the-most-important-part-of-working-with-a-company-that-teaches-coding-to-kids\"><strong>What do you think is the most important part of working with a company that teaches coding to kids?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the most important part is being able to teach kids practical skills in a really fun and engaging way.
