Mission
Our mission is to help kids prepare for a rapidly changing future by teaching them to code, create, and think like innovators.
Through coding, students develop the skills they need to create opportunities, solve real-world problems, and find fulfillment in shaping the digital world around them. At Create2Discover, we believe that learning to code isn’t just about technology — it’s about learning how to think, create, and adapt.
Our programs help students grow in essential future-ready areas:
- Creativity – turning ideas into digital realities
- Problem Solving – breaking complex challenges into solvable parts
- Computational Thinking – learning to reason logically and systematically
- Collaboration – designing, testing, and improving with others
- Adaptability – thriving as tools and technology evolve
- Perseverance – learning that mistakes are part of the creative process
- Self-Directed Learning – discovering how to learn independently
- Empathy and Communication – creating experiences that connect with others
We believe students develop these abilities best by building — by bringing new ideas to life through code. When students create their own video games, virtual worlds, apps, or inventions, they’re not just learning to use technology — they’re learning to create with it.
About Create2Discover
At Create2Discover, we use coding as a tool to help kids explore their creativity and discover what they’re capable of. Our classes introduce students to programming through fun, hands-on projects in Roblox Studio, Minecraft, Fortnite (UEFN), and video game design — environments where learning feels like play, and challenges spark curiosity.
Through these experiences, students:
- Discover that they can create the technology products they love — not just consume them.
- Discover how the games and apps they use every day are built.
- Discover a new language of creation through coding.
- Discover their own ability to innovate, design, and bring ideas to life.
- Discover confidence as they share their creations and receive feedback.
- Discover new pathways for learning and career interests that extend far beyond the classroom.
We see every project as a creative pursuit — a chance for students to express themselves, build real skills, and develop the mindset of a lifelong learner.

About The Instructor
Shawn D. Walk has been an educator for over 20 years. He was a 4th/5th grade teacher for 11 years at an elementary school north of Pittsburgh. During his time at that school, he focused on project-based learning and engaging students with real-world tasks that allowed them to see how what they were learning is used in the real world. Shawn also developed several robotics and coding programs during his time as a teacher.
About 7 years ago, he started a company in Pittsburgh that partnered with schools to offer coding, Minecraft, and other creative classes. The company was one of the first organizations in the Pittsburgh region to use Minecraft to create engaging programs for students. In addition to teaching classes through Create2Discover, he also teaches classes on Outschool where he has over 1,300 five-star reviews from families.
Shawn has an active Pennsylvania Teaching Certification and a Masters Degree in education.
