About

Are you looking to code or learn new concepts in computer science!? Well, welcome to probably one of your first programming classes! 🤖 [SHORT COURSE]

You don't have to have any background in coding, just a device with internet! We're going to start from scratch (😆 like the website) and build up on the fundamentals so hopefully this can guide you to making your very own projects in the near future!!

Some things we'll look at:
-> why do we need to program? Intro to the scratch website.
-> looking at all of the block types and what they all do - experimenting
-> seeing some project ideas and selecting one to do
-> learning more and going deeper - what do we do next?
-> algorithms and goals
-> real world applications and problem-solving creativity!
(not in this order specifically, just a brief overview of topics we'll cover!)

Each class we'll try to be activity oriented and outcome based rather than just mugging up information or making it like a onetime interest which you drop after the series ends, so I hope this comes of use to you! Interaction is always optimal in the sessions and will help you understand a lot better, so I highly encourage it!

Hey I'm Aeparish! I'm from India and I'm 14- in 9th grade with the power of home/online schooling. I’m here to expand on my interests and try learning new topics! ‎ Updated: 06/09/2025 (👉゚ヮ゚)👉 Check out the sessions I'm hosting! ‎ I’m extremely interested in astronomy- be it with physics or biology. Some topics I love and am getting into are exoplanets, black holes, quantum physics and more. I can’t say I’m super well versed with them but I’m always up for a nice discussion on it or simply researching! I’ve been into it since I was a little 6-year-old, drifting from indecisiveness but ending back here. I've even participated in the NASA Hackathon 4 (+more to come) years in a row so I have experience including multiple courses and events. For my future, I know I’ll be doing something involved with these. I also have taken an interest in finance and history—from bitcoin and investments to unknown chapters in our past. ‎ I love drawing both digitally (on procreate) and on paper, including animation whenever I feel like it. Using blender to 3D model is something I’ve been loving recently, even building Legos from time to time (mostly original builds which I cherish). I'm writing a research paper related to rigging and UV maps, nearing completion so I can then publish. ‎ Outside, you'll probably see me taking photos of different bugs or collecting sticks and rocks. I also collect shedding and exoskeletons of bugs or snakes so... Be prepared for extensive talking on this in some of my sessions! I guess I’m the ‘explorer’ type. ‎ Lastly, I code in a bunch of languages (Scratch, Gdevelop, C++, Python, HTML & CSS) and use game development for projects involving hackathons or competitions for example getting into semi-finalists globally @ Technovation 2025. I also speak a bunch including English, Hindi (not writing or reading), and French. ‎ Feel free to message me for any doubts on these topics/subjects. Even programs I've mentioned! I'm happy to help guide you. ‎ Being a dialogue club president here at schoolhouse means I've also attended over 35! I actively host one-off’s so if you’d like to see more, feel free to follow me. Discussing topics about the future, history, and philosophy is interesting and I highly recommend you try it.
