I thought that the first class I ever took was really difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her first experience with coding came before CodeWizardsHQ when she took a few small, one-time classes. It wasn\u2019t until later that she found a program that truly sparked her interest and made coding feel more approachable and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-finding-codewizardshq-a-perfect-fit\"><strong>Finding CodeWizardsHQ: A Perfect Fit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Riya\u2019s mom discovered CodeWizardsHQ while searching for online learning opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic. \u201cI was looking online. We were not able to physically go anywhere. I was also looking through the reviews. This particular program had good reviews online, and we decided to join.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the very first session, Riya\u2019s mom knew it was a good fit. \u201cI think it clicked in the first session. We thought that this was a good fit for us and Riya, and it has worked well since then.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also emphasized the importance of coding as a necessary skill in today\u2019s world. \u201cI think now coding is essential, no matter what kind of career you choose. It\u2019s important to have that basic understanding.\u201d Riya\u2019s mom noted that as a doctor, she has seen information technology penetrating the medical field. \u201cThe newer generation of medical graduates also needs more of this knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, coding was a challenge, but joining CodeWizardsHQ changed everything. \u201cWhen I started with CodeWizards, it became really accessible. My teachers helped me break it down and understand it. All the projects are fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She quickly found that coding wasn\u2019t just about learning a new language, it was about creating something exciting. \u201cIt\u2019s not only fun to learn about coding, but it\u2019s also fun to make the project and see when you\u2019re done with it, you can play around with it. It\u2019s cool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-favorite-classes-projects-and-languages\"><strong>Favorite Classes, Projects, and Languages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_E6692-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Riya playing violin\" class=\"wp-image-67851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_E6692-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_E6692-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_E6692-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_E6692-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With twelve classes behind her, Riya has explored a variety of coding concepts, but some projects stand out as favorites. She especially enjoyed a recent course that focused on building structured, interactive web pages. \u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/client-side-framework\/\">framework<\/a> one was probably one of my favorites,\u201d she said. She found working with dynamic elements particularly engaging, especially when creating forms and interactive features that respond to user actions. One project she recalled involved designing pop-ups. \u201cThat was really fun,\u201d she said, highlighting how much she enjoys coding projects that bring web pages to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another favorite was a music player project, which Riya enjoyed customizing to make it her own. \u201cI added my own colors and songs and information. I had different genres. I had classical, so I had Bach and Mozart. I also put in rock ones, so I had Led Zeppelin and Eagles.\u201d At CodeWizardsHQ, students are encouraged to personalize their projects, allowing them to bring their own creativity and interests into their work. This approach not only makes learning more engaging but also helps students take ownership of their coding skills as they see their ideas come to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to programming languages, she enjoys the creativity that comes with web development. \u201cI like working with web pages. I especially enjoy designing them from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/fundamentals-of-web-dev\/\">CSS<\/a> aspect. I can be creative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also learned an important skill beyond coding itself: keeping things organized. \u201cI really learned how to keep my code organized so that I could understand it and someone else could understand it. So that was really important for me to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-future-plans-and-career-goals\"><strong>Future Plans and Career Goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/aaeb73c4-22ee-4297-a5e6-7a79c7859cd9-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"CodeWizardsHQ student, Riya\" class=\"wp-image-67853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/aaeb73c4-22ee-4297-a5e6-7a79c7859cd9-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/aaeb73c4-22ee-4297-a5e6-7a79c7859cd9-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/aaeb73c4-22ee-4297-a5e6-7a79c7859cd9-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/aaeb73c4-22ee-4297-a5e6-7a79c7859cd9-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, Riya has big plans for how she wants to use her skills. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to making video games. I made a zombie video game and I would like to do more of that later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond game development, she is fascinated by space and dreams of working in the field of astronomy. \u201cI\u2019ve been wanting to do something space-related for a while. That was one of the things that made me stick with coding. I\u2019ve been really interested in astronomy or being an astronaut.\u201d For now, she is excited to keep building her skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-riya-s-interests-outside-of-coding\"><strong>Riya\u2019s Interests Outside of Coding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of coding, Riya has a wide range of interests that keep her busy and creative. In school, she enjoys history, especially American and European history, because she finds it fascinating to see \u201chow things that happened back then led to what\u2019s going on now.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her hobbies include drawing, dancing, and music, all of which allow her to express herself in different ways. She takes jazz dance classes at a local school and loves the energy and movement it brings. Music is also a big part of her life, and she enjoys everything from pop to Broadway. \u201cI love listening to Spotify. It\u2019s one of my favorite things,\u201d she said, naming Taylor Swift and musicals like Hamilton and Wicked among her favorites. On top of all that, she stays active by playing tennis. \u201cPlaying for fun, just to learn it, you know,\u201d she said, showing her love for trying new things and staying active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-bright-future-ahead\"><strong>A Bright Future Ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Riya\u2019s passion for coding, creativity, and curiosity set her apart.
