Senior🎓
Top SchoolBaker Sharp is a computer science educator and developer who blends 11 years of hands-on software experience with a passion for equitable, accessible tech education. Currently teaching IB computer science in San Francisco while instructing Snap Engineering Academy, Baker designs project-based, culturally responsive curricula that help historically excluded students become creators, not just consumers, of technology. They built and led VanillaMod, an open-source JavaScript-to-Minecraft transpiler and curriculum used globally to teach programming through play, and have shipped educational tools at startups and nonprofits. With a Stanford CS degree and a minor in Education, Baker pairs classroom pedagogy with practical engineering—from React Native apps to backend services—so students learn real-world skills. Outside the classroom they translate curiosity into action through expedition leadership, cooking experiments, and competitive Ultimate Frisbee, showing a knack for team-building in both wilderness and tech settings.
