Mario Nolasco | Aspiring Web/Software Developor

I'm a senior studying Computer Science with a minor in Math who loves the impact tech can have on people. I'm in love with being able to create something, being technical, being creative, solving an issue, or simply expressing myself.

My journey has taken me so many places, but one of the main things I always come back to is education. From being a supplementary instructor for computer science at my university, to teaching middle and high school students Python, to teaching young kids how to program in Minecraft, Python, and build simple websites, I love helping others and allowing them to experience the world of tech. And now, being able to contribute to kids’ education through software has been incredibly meaningful.
