Years ago I wanted to teach kids coding. I know that during lunchtimes when I was in secondary school I would really have appreciated guidance from professional developers. Because I wanted to give back to the community I offered to teach kids coding at the local school, but instead they got me to sign up for teaching the adult education classes, which was totally not the point. I didn't want to make teaching a full time occupation, but doing it for half a day a week would have been good. You need teachers who are still engaged with the industry I feel.
