Zainab's Story My interest in coding sparked when I realized the immense potential of technology to solve real-world problems and improve lives. Growing up, I was fascinated by the way websites, apps, and software worked, and I wanted to learn how to create them. During my academic journey, I was introduced to basic programming concepts, which further fueled my curiosity. I began exploring online resources, coding tutorials, and forums, where I learned from experienced developers and gained hands-on experience. As I delved deeper into the world of coding, I discovered the thrill of bringing ideas to life, the satisfaction of solving complex problems, and the joy of creating something from scratch. This excitement and sense of accomplishment solidified my passion for coding, and I've been eager to continue learning and growing as a programmer ever since.
