My name is Zak Kolar. When people refer to me, they use the pronouns “he”, “him”, and “his.” I’ve been a Digital Learning Teacher at Plympton Elementary School in Waltham, MA since 2018. I work with students and teachers to incorporate digital literacy and computer science standards and skills into lessons and projects. I’m interested in working with classroom teachers and coaches to find ways to incorporate these skills and standards into existing curricula.

I’ve worked with the Education Development Center on their Math + C project. Math + C is a series of mini-units that allow elementary students use programming as a language to explore and express mathematical ideas.

When I’m not in school, I enjoy writing code, reading books, and photography.
