About

Built by a teacher who still teaches

I am Omar. I teach computer science to grades 6 to 8 in NYC public schools, and I have been in that classroom since 2016. I am New York State certified in CTE and STEM.

The lessons on this site come from my classroom. I taught them to my own students, on a school schedule, with the devices my school owns. That is why they are short on setup and specific about materials.

The consulting work grew out of the same place. Schools needed a website someone would actually keep updated, units that fit their grade levels and equipment, and training that left teachers able to run a tool on their own. That is what I do now.
