John Bujalski
NY Metro Program Manager john@thecodingspace.com
After graduating from NYU where he studied computer science and drama, John discovered his talent and enthusiasm for teaching coding to young students.

Now at The Coding Space, he's passing on his experience and wisdom to a new generation of teachers.

John believes in instilling passion for design and self-expression as an essential part of teaching coding, empowering students to use their computer skills to pursue their goals and aspirations. |
