Leaders Are Saying Alexa Salzman CS Teacher, East Meadow, New York " My students and I have enjoyed working with OYO and the mentors. The students get so into the projects that when the mentors comment back they act like they know them personally. It is a great user friendly platform that I use every day in my class! I have had a student become a mentor for OYO and have current students aspiring to become them as well. I’m so happy I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with OYO. " Frank Hufnagel HS Computer Teacher, Hauppauge, New York " When I was first told I would be teaching Coding to the students of Hauppauge High School, I was a little hesitant as I was uncertain of how to go about it. That was until I met Dev and Melora and experienced the OYOclass platform firsthand. Their passion to make coding accessible to everyone is evident in the well-designed platform and the skilled mentors they have on staff.

That was until I met Dev and Melora and experienced the OYOclass platform firsthand. Their passion to make coding accessible to everyone is evident in the well-designed platform and the skilled mentors they have on staff. The platform provides a section of courses that students can go through at their own pace, a section of challenges where students can demonstrate their knowledge to earn credentials such as micro and mastery badges, and to complete the total package, they provide all the apps that the students can utilize to build their skills. While students have the freedom to earn the badges through a self-paced learning environment, they are never alone. The OYOclass mentors are never far to offer assistance, tips, hints, or an encouraging word to everyone as they complete their pathways to a Mastery Level badge. Melora and Dev’s vision is becoming a reality to the students of Hauppauge High School, I say all this as a student of coding myself. As an ongoing student of coding, I am grateful for the opportunities that OYOclass has provided me to bring learning experiences to my students and be an in-person mentor to them in our classroom. As an educator, I am grateful for the flexibility of the platform that allows me to customize my students learning experiences to meet our curriculum. I have created courses, challenges, and even pathways resulting in Mastery Level badges that reflect what I expect as an outcome of my courses. The most rewarding part of OYOclass is that the students truly enjoy it and want to use it. It instills confidence in them and a sense of accomplishment, while encouraging students to Fail Forward”, unlike any other course I have had the experience of teaching. " [collapse] Brian Ferrera Coding Teacher, Hauppauge MS, New York " Thank you for all this [OYOclass hackathon]. I look forward to it so immensely, basing a lot of the year around it. Really hope you know how much we all appreciate it. " Dr. Michael P. Nagler Superintendent, Mineola Union Free School District, League of Innovative Schools, Mineola, New York " Public education needs to take immediate action and embed Computer science and computational thinking in all curriculum areas. They are undeniable skills that everyone will encounter after high school. But, there is no pool of teachers that districts can hire to meet the demand. How do you do that when skills and personnel are limited in availability? You innovate! You create! And when you want to do that, you really need partners doing the same thing with you! That is why ‘OYO’ works.. because it finds willing innovators at all ages and empowers them in their world with tools and methods that are accessible for ALL. As a district leader, your top-performing leaders will always stand out... now they can stand out for/with ALL learners in your community.. students, teachers and even the local parents and volunteers who become mentors and give back.. ‘OYO’ works for everybody! " Katelynn Schmidt Elementary Science Teacher, Mineola UFSD, New York, Grades K-2, Meadow Drive Elementary "I have had the best time watching my students work through the OYOclass Maze Code app to earn their first badge! They are extremely persistent while trying to solve the code. Their excitement when they beat it was indescribable! We are having a great time!"
