I love SFD because it’s making me learn more about coding. Society is going toward coding and technology. When I grow up, I want to be either an environmental scientist or an engineer."

I use my computer skills in real life by looking at everything as a step-by-step process, like the functions in coding. This helps me achieve my goals as I get a clearer understanding of what I have to do to get there."
