Good Morning Everyone!

So I decided to pick up coding at the beginning of April with all the COVID stuff keeping me home. I’ve always been interested in it since a teenager but just dabbled with it back then(in the 90s). I was briefly a computer programming major in Jr College but ended up with a marketing degree. I found myself in the teaching profession (Jr. High math for almost 7 years now). I also have a masters in Learning and Technology, so coding is fitting right in. I’m hoping to be able to use coding in my own math lessons by creating games to help students engage with the material. Also a possibility for a career change as I am really liking it so far.

I’ve been using the Sololearn app, watching YouTube videos, read through Part I and the “Alien Invasion” section of Eric Matthes’ “Python Crash Course, 2nd Ed.”, and about halfway through the modules from snakify.com. I find I learn best by just diving into the code with a project goal.

Looking forward to learning more and contributing to this community however I can!
