Leslie's Program

My name is Leslie O’Brien. I am a PL for Session 2. This is my first time being a PL. I’m currently a Middle School teacher for the last 25 years teaching Robotics, Computers, and Math. My experience with gaming/technology in coding has been with a  AP Computer Science course I taught a few years ago. I’ve been working with VEX robotics for the last eight years. I just completed my drone license with FAA and teach/code with them in my classroom. I live in Louisville, KY with my 3 kids. I love international travel, reading, hiking, kayaking, DIY projects, and scuba diving. My fun fact is my weakness is sweets, especially icing.
