Learning coding is not just a mere subject to study; it is also an amazing skill that opens up many opportunities for us in today's technological world. And one surprising thing is that anyone can learn coding. Ethan, a Python Algoer, is a typical example of this. Let's explore Ethan's journey of discovering the world of programming!
Ethan was one of the top Python graduates at Algorithmics. Unlike other students, Ethan started to learn code quite coincidentally and unexpectedly.
During a volleyball tournament held at Ethan's high school, sponsored by Algorithmics, the winning team would receive valuable course scholarships at Algorithmics. And Ethan was one of them.
He started learning coding in the 10th grade and began with a Python course. Initially, he only wanted to experience it because of the scholarship. Ethan had no intention or basic foundation in coding. On the contrary, he had a business-oriented direction following his family's path. But after learning coding, Ethan realized that it wasn't as difficult as people often say. Programming is a skill, and this subject helps him apply many things in learning and life, while also supporting his business aspirations.
Now let's summarize the valuable lessons and positive energy that Ethan wants to spread to young people!
Even Ethan have no background, passion, or different career aspirations, he could still have an amazing experience by receiving a coding scholarship at Algorithmics. Just like peers and the majority of people, Ethan also used to think that coding was only for talented students or those with an inclination and passion for technology. But when he started learning with Algo, Ethan gained a different perspective: Programming is not as difficult as we think!
The interesting thing is that anyone can learn coding, regardless of their background, passion, or different directions. We can all access coding education without needing to be a math prodigy or have advanced technology knowledge. All you need is a thirst for learning, patience, and readiness to face new challenges. And once you embark on the journey of exploring the world of programming with Algo, you will discover many exciting skills that you can develop and realize that you are better than you thought.
Unlike regular subjects in school, programming is considered an important skill, especially in the era of Industry 4.0. Coding and technology skills can be applied in various fields.
For students, this skill contributes significantly to developing their thinking abilities, cultivating proactive habits in learning and research, and optimizing the use of internet resources for finding materials, expanding knowledge, and reducing study time.
For students and professionals, technology and programming skills enable us to easily adapt to new tools, quickly update information, and avoid falling behind. Moreover, these skills optimize tools, time, and enhance work efficiency.
Furthermore, the common point we see is that technology and programming skills can be seen as a combination of various soft skills such as logical thinking, self-learning skills, exploration, creativity, focus, and more. Therefore, by developing technology and programming skills, they will synergize and develop other skills.
You may not have a career orientation in the field of information technology, but learning coding is still something you should do. Mastering the fundamentals of programming helps us understand technology better, which is the "golden key" to access new knowledge and tools in the era of Industry 4.0. Moreover, it is a skill that can help you succeed in any profession. Additionally, developing technology skills also improves other skills such as logical thinking, problem-solving, proactivity,...
For Ethan, even though he didn't change his initial business direction, he is still determined to complete the Python course. Not because of passion, but because he sees the benefits that programming can bring. Ethan also recognizes his own development, from thinking patterns to other soft skills.
To apply and remember knowledge and skills in the long run, regular practice and bringing "raw knowledge into practice" is the most effective method. And to implement this effective method, the first thing to do is: Take action. Remember that opportunities won't come to us if we don't take action.
We may not meet the requirements for a certain job position, but we might exceed expectations. But none of it will become a reality if we don't take action. And it's the same for Ethan! Opportunities won't come to Ethan if he just thinks and waits. And once he decided to take action, even with a small step, Ethan opened many doors of opportunity for himself. Not only doors of opportunity, but also brought various great lessons and experiences for Ethan.
Learning programming is not as difficult as you think. Everyone can access and learning coding, regardless of their abilities or initial interests. Ethan is a typical example of starting programming without needing initial direction or passion. By accumulating technological skills and great experiences, you can open future doors with coding. And finally, to achieve a goal, the first step is "take action!". We may fail or succeed, but one thing for sure is that you will gain "lessons".
