    About Shawn W.

    I have spent 14 years teaching students to create! As an elementary teacher for 11 years, I got students excited about math by engaging them in projects that required them to use mathematics to solve real world problems. I was the elementary robotics coordinator in my school district for 10 years where helped students build and program robots. After teaching, I started a company called Hi-Tech Learning that taught students to create Video Games and amazing things with Minecraft. I am available to introduce your child to coding, animation, video game design, 3D Design and more! I use fun programs like Minecraft to introduce concepts in an engaging way. Your child will be having so much fun, they won't realize they are learning key skills needed for success in today's world. If you would like help getting your child excited about creating and preparing for success in the 21st century, I have extensive experience. If you have a project in mind for your child that involves technology, contact TakeLessons today!
