“The Python AI workshop gave me a practical introduction to combining weather data and AI-generated content using APIs. As part of the course, I built an itinerary planner that takes in user input and returns a customised travel plan, along with current weather updates for the chosen cities. It was a hands-on way to explore how Python can be used to build interactive, user-focused tools. The workshop offered a solid balance of structure and creativity. It makes me excited to apply Python to real-world use cases.”

“The process of writing this app, from handling user input to displaying current and forecast weather, was both challenging and rewarding. This app may be simple, but it's a big step forward for me. It shows how far I’ve come and how powerful Python can be, even as a beginner. It’s the sole reason I started coding, and I’m excited to keep building from here.”

“Building this World Clock app helped me improve my JavaScript skills tremendously. I learned how to update content dynamically with setInterval and handle user input in real time. This was such a great introduction to working with external libraries, integrating live data, and deploying a responsive project!”

“Creating this project was a fun and rewarding experience that combined creativity with the power of AI. One of the most interesting parts of the process was learning how specific the prompt and context needed to be. The more clearly I defined the tone, style, and purpose (e.g. "short, catchy names that could work as .com domains"), the better and more creative the results became. I also learned how to format and display AI-generated responses dynamically using basic JavaScript and HTML elements. Overall, this project taught me not only how to work with AI and APIs but also the clarity and structure when designing for creativity.”

“This project was a great opportunity to put everything I had learned into practice. While I admittedly spent far too much time perfecting the CSS, what I truly enjoyed was diving into the functionality, implementing the search engine, integrating the weather API, and ensuring features like the icons worked correctly. It was both challenging and rewarding to see everything come together. The experience helped me appreciate the logic behind web development more than just the visual design, and it motivated me to keep improving my skills.”

“The Basics Add-on was a great next step in my learning journey. I liked how the course delved deeper into the possibilities and elements of CSS and JavaScript. It pushed me to think more critically about how different codes work together and how to ensure that my files function properly across various scenarios. The challenges were definitely more complex, but they helped me improve my problem-solving skills and gain a better understanding of coding principles. It was an excellent way to build on the foundation I established!”

“I started this course as a complete beginner, looking to diversify my skill set, and it was an incredibly insightful experience. The lessons in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript were easy to follow, well-structured, and practical. The course made learning to code approachable and enjoyable, giving me a nice foundation!”
