Teaching Kids Programming
Lynn Langit was introduced to programming at age 16 through Teaching Kids Programming (TKP) events. She went on to teach TKP events while studying computer science and bioinformatics in college. After interning at Microsoft Research and working at Pivotal Labs, she created TKP Java courseware to teach programming to middle school students. The courseware includes 80 coding lessons and bridges students to AP Computer Science courses using a teacher-led, puzzle-based approach. Langit advocates for developers to create educational courseware, work with K-12 teachers, and be visible technical role models to help address the lack of gender diversity in computer science fields.
