Learning how to code has become the newest hot trend. This is something I can completely get behind. Personally, I was not raised with a focus in STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics, but I have always since I was a kid loved technology. No, I wasn’t the girl learning how to build processors in her bedroom even though I wish I had.
Til this day I remember helping my dad, neighbors ,and a couple of family friends order Apple and Dell products over the phone. Yes, kinda dated with that. Our first computer I actually order from a Dell catalog.
