This month, we\u2019re excited to introduce you to Louis, an 8th-grade student from Canada, whose journey into the world of programming started with a spark of interest from an introduction to coding at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-self-started-spark\">A Self-Started Spark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis\u2019s interest in coding started all on his own. His mom remembered, \u201cLouis asked to learn coding. We don\u2019t have coding backgrounds.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis still remembers exactly when the coding bug bit him. \u201cIn 6th grade, there was a program called Callisto, and they came to our school, and they taught basic coding lessons. I won a competition,\u201d he said. It wasn\u2019t just a moment of fun; it lit a spark. He didn\u2019t come from a tech-heavy family, but he had a feeling that this was something he was good at and more than that, something he enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9644.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9644-300x188.jpeg\" alt=\"Louis flying\" class=\"wp-image-68330\" style=\"width:376px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9644-300x188.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9644-1024x640.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9644-768x480.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9644.jpeg 1056w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-finding-codewizardshq\">Finding CodeWizardsHQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When Louis\u2019s curiosity took the lead, his mom began searching for the right program. \u201cI did a Google search and tried to find him a good program,\u201d she shared. \u201cI just looked at the customer reviews, and CodeWizards has quite good feedback.\u201d So, with no background in programming themselves, Louis\u2019s family supported him in signing up for his very first coding course\u2014with CodeWizardsHQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the time, I was just wanting to learn how to make a game,\u201d he said. That simple curiosity led him to request coding classes and now, just two years later, he\u2019s advanced through four CodeWizardsHQ courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-python-basics-to-capstone-projects\">From Python Basics to Capstone Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis has completed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/intro-to-python-programming-class\/\">Intro to Python<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/python-beyond-basics\/\">Beyond Basics with Python<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/webpages-html-css-class\/\">Webpages with HTML and CSS<\/a>, and even a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/middle-school-capstone1\/\">Capstone Course<\/a>. He is currently in his fifth course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/responsive-web-development\/\">Responsive Web Development<\/a>. When asked which projects stood out, Louis said, \u201cI&#8217;ve enjoyed all the projects that we&#8217;ve made.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis mentioned that his Capstone Course projects were the ones that stood out most, hinting at the more advanced and creative work students accomplish in these courses. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/middle-school-capstone1\/\">Capstone Courses<\/a> solidify learning and allow students to deepen their understanding of programming concepts with cumulative, exciting projects after each Wizard Level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked which language he preferred, Louis didn\u2019t hesitate: \u201cI prefer Python\u2026 it feels more like coding compared to HTML.\u201d That preference makes sense. Louis is drawn to logical challenges. He has enjoyed learning the foundational elements of Python, such as printing and if-else statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-ahead-javascript-engineering-and-possibilities\">Looking Ahead: JavaScript, Engineering, and Possibilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, Louis is looking forward to learning JavaScript. He\u2019s excited about how JavaScript will open a whole new level of creativity and interactivity for his websites with dynamic features like pop-ups, animations, and interactive buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though he\u2019s still figuring out what his future career might be, he\u2019s open to the idea of engineering. \u201cMy parents are probably planning for me to become an engineer,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_1773-rotated.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_1773-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Louis at the climbing wall\" class=\"wp-image-68331\" style=\"width:211px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_1773-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_1773-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_1773-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_1773-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-life-outside-the-code\">Life Outside the Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis isn\u2019t all coding, all the time. He\u2019s a regular 8th-grade student who enjoys math and science. \u201cMath has mostly just been numbers, but I feel like algebra has been entertaining,\u201d he said. Louis shared that he also enjoys the lab work in his science classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he\u2019s not in school or coding, you can probably find him playing video games. His favorites are first-person shooter games. Louis also likes to get outside, especially when it involves camping trips. \u201cWe normally go to Banff National Park,\u201d he said. He also hikes with his dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being based in Canada, Louis is no stranger to cold. Reflecting on the recent winter, he said, \u201cIt was minus 20 for quite a long time. It just came up to 0.\u201d But he and his family also enjoy traveling, especially road trips to the U.S. \u201cLas Vegas, Utah, and the West Coast,\u201d Louis listed. When asked what feels different about crossing the border, he had a very Canadian answer: \u201cMetric and imperial systems are very different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-strong-start-to-a-promising-journey\">A Strong Start to a Promising Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s something impressive about the way Louis approaches coding, with focus, consistency, and a genuine drive to improve. He puts in the work, builds his skills with purpose, and continues to grow with every course he takes. His projects reflect not just what he\u2019s learned but also how far he\u2019s come. From winning his very first coding competition in 6th grade to progressing through four CodeWizardsHQ courses, Louis has built a strong foundation in programming, especially in Python, where he thrives with logic and problem-solving.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, we\u2019re thankful for students like Louis and families who support their interests, even when it means stepping into something completely new. Thank you, Louis, for being part of the CodeWizardsHQ community. We\u2019re so glad you found us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Louis is a very hardworking student with strong problem-solving and logical thinking skills. He often works ahead during class and consistently goes above and beyond on his projects.
