Founder / CEO
Skema
Founder and CEO of Skema, an award-winning computer education program for children, based in Iceland. I've developed teaching methods and curriculum that enable children as young as 6 years old to learn the basics of computer programming through computer game creation. I believe that teaching methods can be adapted to enable both children with and without learning disabilities to effectively learn computer skills. Additionally, I'm spearheading an ongoing study to analyze the impact of computer programming on cognitive development and well-being of 9 – 10 year old children.
