My name is Nora Husani and I recently graduated from Miami University with a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering. I am really passionate about education and how we can leverage technology to improve learning. I am here to showcase my game "The Da Vinci Coders" which is an educational board game designed to teach middle school aged children how to program in Java.
