Patrick\u2019s dad, Tim, works in IT, so coding had always been something on his radar for his son.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1989308258-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Patrick with computer\" class=\"wp-image-47606\" style=\"width:243px;height:324px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1989308258-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1989308258-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1989308258-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1989308258-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1989308258-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s already been exposed to computers from a very young age, so it was in my plan to start with the coding lessons,\u201d says Tim, who learned about CodeWizardsHQ through his son\u2019s school. \u201cIt was a good fit and it&#8217;s been great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many of our students, Patrick loves to customize his coding projects, but he does it in a very unique way. Not only does he create his own artwork, he also adds his own music to his projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI make my own music for my games. I used to have a Mac and I used Garage Band to make my own songs there. I have a keyboard hooked up to my computer, too,\u201d Patrick says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrick recently started learning JavaScript in his CodeWizardsHQ classes and he\u2019s been enjoying the challenge with learning a text-based language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo far I see that JavaScript is a tiny bit harder, but you can still do a lot of things. Sometimes I&nbsp;make typos and I sometimes forget to put some things,\u201d he says of the learning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parent Insights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of coding, Patrick loves playing video games, reading, writing, drawing, and playing music. He taught himself how to play piano and can actually play music by ear. He also likes showing his friends the games he creates in his coding classes and is really looking forward to learning additional languages and more about making his own games.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18386-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Patrick at the piano\" class=\"wp-image-47607\" style=\"width:234px;height:312px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18386-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18386-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18386-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18386-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18386-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Tim has loved watching his son learn how to code and see how excited he is for class and his assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s very enthusiastic about it and I don&#8217;t even have to ask him to do it.
