For a long time he had enjoyed video games so it only made sense that he would become part of the \u201cNext Generation to Program Games\u201d. The classes at CodeWizardsHQ have, in fact, given him insight into how coding works and this foundation will give him an upper hand in college.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to prepare for the future,\u201d Zane underlined. In his future he sees himself joining an established team at a video game company like Valve or ID Software.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about his experience at CodeWizardsHQ and the three words that would best encapsulate his time in our program, Zane\u2019s response was \u201cI would choose Thoughtful, Fun, and Stressful. Thoughtful because of wonder about what I should do, fun because of all the interactions I have with my teacher and classmate, (yes, classmate xD) and stressful, because I have difficulty sometimes when trying to find the answer to coding problems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/codewizardshq_zane_1.jpg\" alt=\"CodeWizardsHQ Student Zane Camping\" class=\"wp-image-30081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/codewizardshq_zane_1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/codewizardshq_zane_1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Although the journey hasn\u2019t been easy in our program, learning how to code is about trying and failing and trying again. You don\u2019t have a margin of error as he explained, \u201cThis is because you have to be completely correct with the code, otherwise, it won&#8217;t work (at least correctly).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The community being built at CodeWizardsHQ makes all the difference. Zane was kind to note that the best part of the program were his teacher and classmates. <strong>\u201c<\/strong>They are amazing people and are fun to be with. They also are really helpful when I mess up with code.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At CodeWizardsHQ we understand that teachers have to be the real deal, because only that way can they create the rapport necessary for curiosity and excitement to flourish. Luckily, Zane\u2019s current teacher has done just that, <strong>\u201c<\/strong>Larry is a very down-to-earth kind of guy. He also is very helpful, as I said. He&#8217;s willing to use up his own time to help out Kids like me to understand coding. He also enjoys stuff like memes, which is something I can get behind.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our teacher\u2019s aim not only to teach coding but to become part of a larger community that offers mentorship, growth, and leadership to young kids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our classes we believe that taking ownership empowers students to reach their full potential. When asked about his favorite project and why, Zane highlighted the exact reason we do this, \u201cIt would have to be the Quidditch Project. It was where you had to click on an object to win, but if you would like on the other object, you would lose. I decided to make it a Doom themed version of this game. It was fun to make, especially in replacing the Snitch with an Imp, and replacing the Dementor with the <strong>ICON OF SIN<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our community we don\u2019t just teach code, we teach coding in a progressive tense way with everything that entails. The trips, the fails, the falls and the success, We are really happy to have you as one of our students Zane! Thank you for choosing us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-questions-for-zane-s-parents\"><strong>Questions for Zane&#8217;s Parents<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.
