Cym was introduced to the world of programming in 1984, when she was 10 years old. She still remembers the magic of creating her first computer program. In her computer workshops she aims to introduce the workshop participants to this same magic of creating your own computer projects.
Cym has been traveling around Europe for many years, teaching HTML to many different people in many different countries. In 2009 she returned to The Netherlands where she finished her studies Interaction Design & Unstable Media, followed by several new studies focusing on Arts & Education and Education in general.
Currently she is running her own creative maker space in The Netherlands, where children aged 8 to 16 are coming every week to explore the many possibilities of working with the computer.
Cym is one of the leading teachers for The Netherlands during Codeweek.
