We had a great conversation about coding, STEM, and CodeMonkey! Our students love using CodeMonkey, and it is fun to get started with. You will definitely enjoy this conversation with Javier! Be sure to connect with Javier to learn more!
About Javier
Javier Aguilar is in his eleventh year of working at East Fort Worth Montessori Academy as a bilingual technology applications/computer science teacher and robotics coach for our PreK to 5th Grade Students.
Javier has an Associate of Applied Science degree in Computer Drafting from TSTC, a Bachelor’s in Applied Technologies in Workforce Leadership and Training from UT at Brownsville, and a Master's of Education in Educational Technology from UTRGV.
He is a current member of the Dallas / Fort Worth Computer Science Association chapter @dfwcsta CSTA. Javier actively promotes equity and innovation in education, particularly within the realm of computer science for elementary school students.
As a father of two girls, Javier believes it is important for educators to support minorities and encourage them to learn technology for their future. At his school, he leads after-school clubs for coding and robotics. Javier encourages girls to participate in these clubs to provide them the confidence of learning technology. He believes the misconceptions of technology, computer science, STEAM and robotics are only for boys or smart girls. His goal is to expose ALL students to these fields and spark their early interest in them.
