3 Things I Learnt as an Educator at Coding Lab

My journey at Coding Lab first began about 3 years ago, back in 2018. Fast forward to today, where I'm now teaching the Scratch, App Inventor and Python curricula and occasionally writing blogs in between. I was also given the opportunity to be the Head of Marketing for Tiny Thinkers, Coding Lab's social initiative for children aged 4-7, where we reached out to thousands of children regardless of their socioeconomic status.
