Over the years, we have worked with children, teenagers, and adults from a wide variety of backgrounds, helping them develop technical skills, confidence, creativity, and independent problem-solving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>We believe that the best learning happens when students build real projects, ask meaningful questions, experiment freely, and receive individualized guidance. Whether students are creating their first Scratch game, programming robots, designing inventions, or learning to collaborate responsibly with AI tools, our goal is always the same: to help them become thoughtful, capable, and independent learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CodeCraze is led by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-072e393d wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mehmet Cakmak, MA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Mehmet Cakmak, MA, is a Python expert, game developer, and philosopher from Istanbul, Turkey.

CodeCraze is his passion project\u2014an opportunity to combine his love of teaching, technology, and creative problem-solving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">As a former physics student turned thinker and tinkerer, Mehmet brings both analytical and imaginative approaches to his classes. Over the years, he has developed curricula in coding, robotics, engineering, maker education, and AI-assisted learning while working with students ranging from elementary school beginners to highly gifted teenagers. He has extensive experience adapting instruction to individual learning styles, including supporting many neurodivergent students in project-based settings. <br>He believes students learn best when they are challenged, encouraged to think independently, and trusted to solve meaningful problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1897698_10152292095753478_335234628_n.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-559\" style=\"width:238px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\" class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-072e393d wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brooke Luetgert, PhD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Brooke Luetgert, PhD, was raised in Geneva, Illinois.
