My name is Sharon Leo. I am 16 years old and currently a junior at
Northwood High School. I am majoring in computer science. The first time I
tried coding was in Elementary School when we were introduced to the
website Scratch during the Hour of Code activity. It was so exciting to me
when I could watch my characters come to life by connecting puzzle pieces
of coding. Following this event, I would always try to search up how to
perform different actions through Scratch's assets. I made small
animations, and even tried to create games. However, I was limited to the
block assets that were in the website's library, and while it was fun to
put together the blocks to create games, I soon discovered that there was
more to coding than those boxes. I became interested in how such long
lines of text could be transformed into interractive websites. I began
searching for ways to learn how to code without the pre-made code blocks.
In the summer of 2020, I participated in a student organized event under
Roottech. Through the instructors' directions, I learned the basics of
Java, HTML, and Javascript. I created applications from simple websites to
full games. Still, I wanted to learn more, and so I would search up ways
to improve what I could already do. I also learned the basics of Python
through the internet and my own previous knowledge with the other coding
languages.
