This is an article that I wrote in 2017 about my computer science classroom at Ranney School.

Article in the local newspaper about our robots that were stolen at the World Championships in 2017. Luckily, the High School level robots were stolen after we finished competing. But the Elementary and Middle School level robots had yet to compete (their competition occurs after ours). So they lost everything and had to re-build in less than 24 hours. 

This article is about Ranney School's growing computer science program, which I started in 

This article appeared in the Two River Times about our amazing M team, the most successful team I coached in my six years at Ranney. They earned over 40 awards through three seasons of competing, and came in 2nd place at Nationals in 2017, losing by only 1 point in the very last match of a best-of-three series. Kevin is now a student at UC San Diego, Rylan is a Duke, and Connie is at NYU. 

This article is about the new Girls Who Code Club that was started at Ranney School by my student Olivia Eaddy. I was the clubs' advisor.
