Hi, I’m Jensen—founder of MIKI KIDS.

I’ve led mobile product & engineering teams for national brands and shipped dozens of real-world apps and features used by millions. Now I take that same “build → test → ship” approach and make it fun and accessible for kids on Kauaʻi.

What I bring to your child’s class

• Real shipping experience: Students learn the exact habits pros use—planning, naming, version control, and demoing work.
• Beginner-friendly teaching: Short demos, hands-on building, and weekly “show & tell.”
• Safe, structured learning: Clear rules, kind collaboration, and age-appropriate tools.
• Local roots & values: Kuleana, aloha, and ʻohana woven into how we learn together.

​Highlights (selected)

• Built and led mobile products that scaled from small prototypes to millions of users.
• Experience across iOS (Swift/SwiftUI), Roblox (Luau), and drones/FPV basics.
• Curriculum designed for 8–15 year olds with no prior coding experience.
• Partnered with community spaces to keep learning local, safe, and welcoming.

Tools & Platforms We Use

• iOS / Swift Playgrounds: Real SwiftUI with live previews; optional TestFlight sharing.
• Roblox Studio (Luau): kid-friendly scripting with classroom-safe project settings.
• Drones: trainer drones, supervised flying, and simple code-to-mission activities.

Teaching Approach

• Show → Try → Ship: Tiny demo, kids try it, then we ship a small win every class.
• Chunked concepts: Variables, events, layout—one at a time, reinforced with practice.
• Peer learning: Pair work and respectful feedback build confidence and communication.
• Parent partnership: Setup help on Day 1 and quick progress notes each week.

Safety & Inclusivity

• Small groups, supervised sessions, and predictable routines.
• Devices configured with safe defaults; no data collection in student projects.
• All students welcomed; activities adapt to different experience levels and learning styles.
