My school forced us to take CS in sixth grade, and honestly I hated it… but when I went to a KTBYTE summer [weeklong course], we were doing projects that really got me interested in the applications of coding. From that point on I actually liked CS.

I've been able to apply concepts that I've learned in CS to many other aspects of my life. KTBYTE got me interested in CS in the first place. If it weren't for the fun, challenging, and frankly amazing teaching that I experienced at my first KTBYTE camp, and every class since, I probably never would've become the CS enthusiast that I am today.
