My Experience in a nutshell
Covering Python Language extensively through completing a series of challenging programming tasks within levels. The bootcamp covers the Web Framework - Django and virtual environments.
Mentoring and motivating those around me - I aimed to set the standards for the bootcamp and helping those which are struggling.
My Goals during bootcamp
My goal was and still is to build confidence with my own capabilities and giving back though tutoring and sharing my knowledge. Hopefully I am able to inspire someone and give them confidence with their own abilities!
Conclusion
I remember when I first start writing code I was amazed by those that know how to write working code. Yet, I found myself struggling since I never had a someone helping and mentoring me through the learning process - I wish for those I tutor and mentor that they are able to grow and expand their skills when it coming to writing code.
