Welcome back to Classy Coders, where we bridge the gap between classrooms and careers in computer science education. In this episode, we’re diving into the creativity unleashed when students and teachers embrace computer science on their own terms. Join me as I chat with Denise Orndorff and Dora Palfi, who share inspiring stories of student-led innovation, from interactive Makey Makey posters to a virtual pet adoption center coded with Imagi. We also tackle the real-world challenges teachers face, like time constraints and integrating computer science into existing curricula. Denise and Dora offer insights on building strong relationships and fostering professional collaboration. Whether you’re a teacher looking for new ideas or simply interested in the future of education, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical advice. Tune in to discover how every step counts in making an impact in computer science education.
