I loved all the fun programming activities in CodeHer with Nino. CodeHer made me more confident in understanding what to do in Python and how to fix things if there is a problem. I was very inspired by computer science after joining the CodeHer sessions with Nino. I really enjoyed programming simple things step by step. It was really fun.
Raya Khaled
It was really great being able to learn advanced coding. I have always had an interest in coding/programming, and was able to improve my skills in them.
With CodeHer, I was able to fully understand how programming works in websites, apps etc. I also became more confident in the area of coding, and can code/program something without help.
