Hello! My name is Ben Clark and I began teaching Computer Science at Carnahan STEAM in August 2024. That was also my first year as a middle school teacher! I am excited to continue my teaching journey here at Carnahan.

Previously, I taught coding education classes to adults with a local organization that provides training and job opportunities in technology. Before that, I worked in St. Louis and San Diego as a software developer after receiving my Bachelors and Master’s degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

I look forward to bringing some of the tools and knowledge that I have been lucky enough to learn to our students. Middle school is a great time to explore technology and what it can accomplish. We will be covering touch typing, Microsoft Office, introductory block-based coding, Python, and digital art. I also coach the Carnahan Robotics Club, where we compete in First Lego League: Challenge.
