Veronica’s Answers:
Q. Why did you decide to learn to code over other activities?
Coding seemed like a really fun challenge. Like something I could do in my free time that I could just do whatever with. There definitely seems to be plenty of opportunities for creativity.
Q. Has coding ever helped you in your life?
No, it hasn’t, but it might someday. I guess I could say it helped me get friends/attention sorta? In 5th grade I would mess with Google and change the background color and logo, then show it to my classmates. I didn’t know a thing about coding at the time though.
Q. What do you want to do with your coding skills in the future?
I plan to become a developer. I’ve seen other people find success in developing games and it seems like a fun thing to do! I have many ideas that I feel the need to bring to life through games! Muahaha..
Q. What are 3 words that would describe your experience learning to code?
Fun. Limitless. Easy-ish.
Q. What is the easiest and hardest thing about coding?
The hardest thing about coding would be remembering the right punctuation for the right line; everybody has a problem with that. The easiest thing about coding would be how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are pretty lenient when it comes to mistakes. They try and figure the problem out themselves, which is nice.
Q. What do you enjoy the most about learning to code with CodeWizardsHQ?
It is easier to learn how to code when you have mentors there and ready to help, a thing most programs don’t have. The teachers are very kind and if you have a problem, they try and help to the best of their extent.
Q. What do you like the most about your CodeWizardsHQ teacher?
He is a very great and funny guy who has plenty of tips outside of what the slides show. He encourages my classmates and me to let our creativity flow.
Q. What have your favorite projects been and why?
My favorite projects have been those that have let us customize said project to the fullest extent. If there is any way I can make a project/idea mine, it’s through customization.

Q. What goals or dreams do you have around coding for your children?
I hope that if she continues to enjoy coding as much as she does now, that someday she will make a career out of it and not only benefit from such a lucrative career but also from having a job that she actually enjoys. It’s what we all strive for.
Q. Do you think it’s important for kids to learn to code?

I would highly recommend this program. I homeschool and have tried many other programs, none of which held my child’s interest as much as this program. She actually loves preparing for each of her classes.
Q. How has learning to code impacted your child?
Her eagerness and excitement for coding are very apparent. With each new course, she becomes better and more creative. She will search up new ways of making each of her projects just a little bit better and loves the challenge of it. She makes me very proud.
Here is what her teachers had to say about her:
“Veronica is a beam of sunshine and positive energy in my class. She is a talented artist and understands the importance of community and teamwork.”
