Meet Audrey, a fantastic young lady learning to code at CodeWizardsHQ whose hard work and dedication has led her to be our Student of the Month!
Audrey started out in our coding summer camp program in Austin, Texas, and continued into our program first through WMS with Lynn and then finally into a Direct class with Sheena. She has also taken advantage of our free Bonus Classes and completed the Profile Page Portfolio with senior teacher Sabreena.
Audrey is a fantastic example of how our students transition through the CWHQ Program!
“My favorite thing about my current CodeWizards teacher is that she is very outgoing, and I don’t have to feel shy or afraid when I talk to her.”

Audrey’s Answers:
Q. Why did you decide to learn to code over other activities?
I decided to do coding over other activities because I was first introduced to programming when I was about six years old. I stopped after a few years and then my dad suggested a CodeWizards class that looked interesting. I took it and had a great time!

Not at the moment, but when I begin my computer science courses in high school, it most likely will.

I want to use my programming skills in the future to become a professional programmer. I love to code and solve problems.
Q. What are 3 words that would describe your experience learning to code?
Three words that describe my coding experience are engaging, fun, and challenging.
Q. What is the easiest and hardest thing about coding?
The easiest part about coding was the beginning of the HTML & CSS course. I had already taken a summer camp class and learned a lot in my last Python class. The hardest part of coding is trying to find and figure out my mistakes.
