Safa's Story My initial fascination with coding ignited during my undergraduate studies in computer science. Engaging in a hands-on project within one of my courses, where we were tasked with developing a simple website, proved to be a pivotal moment. This experience not only revealed the creative possibilities inherent in coding but also showcased its tangible real-world applications. Witnessing how lines of code could transform into a functional and visually appealing website captivated me. Subsequently, I actively pursued additional coding projects, participated in workshops, and delved into various programming languages to deepen my comprehension. The more I immersed myself in coding, the more I came to appreciate its problem-solving aspects and its ability to empower individuals to bring their ideas to fruition. Since then, my enthusiasm for coding has continued to grow, propelling me to explore new technologies and embrace fresh challenges within the dynamic coding landscape.
