Meet the Educator Behind the Experience

Priscilla works closely with each learner, paying attention to their comfort level, curiosity, and goals. She supports them by understanding how they learn best—what excites them, what challenges them, and where they thrive. Whether a student is just starting out or eager to dive deep, she creates a space where curiosity leads and confidence builds. Through hands-on projects like coding interactive games, designing digital stories, or exploring real-world tools, students begin to see technology not as something to master but as a medium for self-expression. With Priscilla, your child learns not just how to build but why it matters and what they're truly capable of.
