Mary's Story My interest in coding sparked when I realized how much technology shapes our everyday lives and how coding powers the tools we rely on. Initially, I was curious about how apps and websites work behind the scenes and wanted to understand the logic that drives them. This curiosity grew when I attempted small projects like making a simple calculator or automating simple tasks. Seeing my code come to life, even in small ways, gave me a sense of accomplishment and excitement. Over time, I recognized that coding is not just about writing lines of code; it's a powerful tool for creating solutions and bringing ideas to life. The endless possibilities within coding have fueled my interest, and I’m excited about the potential to learn and build projects that could make a positive impact. Coding represents both a personal challenge and a creative outlet, and it’s an area where I feel I can make a meaningful contribution.
