About Us
From Lemonerdy to Lemonerdy U
YouTuber
Lemonerdy started as a YouTube Channel in 2018. I shared all sorts of videos about my life, my hobbies, my favorite books, games, and more. After uploading over 100 videos, I became a YouTube Partner. Eventually, I started making videos about how to make games on MIT’s platform, Scratch. People really loved my coding tutorials, and I decided that I wanted to create a platform for more people to learn how to code. I entered a pitch competition and won $1000 to start building Lemonerdy U.
#NowStreaming
After my coding videos became popular on YouTube, I was approached to have some of my tutorials stream on Common Sense Media’s streaming service for kids, Sensical. Shows are 100% free on every device, and my videos are in the 8-10 category. The app is available on Roku, the Amazon App Store, the Apple App Store, Google Play, Vizio, and Samsung Smart TV.
Course Creator
While I worked on building this platform, Lemonerdy U, I created an advanced Scratch course for DIY.org. DIY+ Subscribers can add videos when they complete challenges, earn badges and more. I am a mentor, so when subscribers add videos and complete challenges, I can check out what they have created and respond. All of the courses on DIY are free, including mine, so even if you don’t subscribe to DIY+, you still have access to the course.
Co-Founder
When I started Lemonerdy at 11 years old, I had no idea that it would become what it is today, a source for people all over the world who want to learn how to code. Lemonerdy U is becoming a reality, and I am excited about where it is going. As I work on making Lemonerdy the top destination for kids interested in technology, it is not lost on me how important it is for kids to see a young, black girl leading this effort as the co-founder. I hope to encourage diversity in tech by leading by example. Thank you for supporting my journey – our journey.
