Testimonials of Kids Teach Tech Live On-line
"I'd like to thank you and all of the KTT team members for your wonderful work! My son, Logan Bowie, is learning so much this week in camp, and I'm enjoying eavesdropping on the classes. I'm very impressed with the well-organized lessons, and with the skills of the young teachers. ... Aahan deserves a lot of praise for his patience, positivity, and ability to multi-task with his break-out group. He is not only a skilled coder, but also a natural teacher and -- most important -- a kind and generous young man. I am so grateful that my son is spending this week with such a wonderful role model." Many thanks, Janet Hayes (5th grade mom, Cleveland Elementary, Oakland)
"Thanks a lot for helping Ariana to learn Python. She had an awesome time and enjoyed taking part in the course. I was blown away by the quality of the teaching and the nice presentation at the end." Kind regards, Ramtin Baninoe
"My son took your Introduction to Python class yesterday and LOVED it. He loves coding in general (Scratch and some Java Script) so to be introduced to a new coding language was amazing. On top of this, the way the class was set up and the energy of his coach in the breakout room was second to none! As a result, we would love to be informed of any new classes or summer camps that you are offering! He is also interested in finding out more about becoming a teacher for your non-profit! He is very comfortable with Scratch, but hopes to get more proficient in Python, Java (Script) and other coding languages."
