History
A couple years ago, I was looking for a Christmas gift for my nephew. I came across a kids coding game, and as a former professional software developer knew that this was something I wanted to introduce him to. However, when I looked around for more coding options, I was surprised to find very few. There were a handful of books, but virtually no computer programming classes for kids in Chicago. I created Power Up Tech Academy to be a place where kids can have their first introduction to coding, or dive deep into it. It is the coding experience that I wish I had received as a kid!
