Coding mentor for students
Local schools & bootcamp cohorts

Volunteer mentor & curriculum helper
Most students arrive having never opened a code editor. The first session is deliberately unglamorous: install an editor, save a file, open it in a browser, and see something you wrote appear on screen.
From there we build one small site together over several weeks — layout, styling, a little interactivity — and finish by putting it online with a link they can share with family.
The measure of success is not how much syntax they memorise, but whether they leave believing they can build software.
Highlights
- 60+ students guided through their first deployed project
- Weekend sessions on HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Git
- Simple, printable exercise sheets so students can practise offline
