My Experiences at Kidocode
Kidocode is a technology and entrepreneurship school dedicated to nurturing young children and teenagers into future leaders. The company was established in 2014, and now has over 6,800 students.
During my internship, I had the opportunity to contribute my skills and passion to the Mathematics and Data Science Department, where I worked as a teacher assistant for a month.
I dedicated myself to continuous learning and skill development. I delved into the realm of basic JavaScript and C#, Electronics, and learned MIT App Inventor for mobile app development. Additionally, I honed my proficiency in essential Python libraries, including NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Seaborn, equipping me with versatile tools for data analysis and visualization.

One of the highlights of my internship was being an integral part of the Review and Test team for Kidocode’s coding courses. I played a role in accelerating the course development process and ensuring the quality of content before its release to students. My involvement encompassed courses spanning diverse programming languages including C#, Python (Turtle), and Data Science. My contributions enriched my understanding of the curriculum development process and provide valuable insights that contributed to the courses’ readiness for student engagement.
Among my achievements, I conducted two Data Science workshops on Pandas and Seaborn, two Python libraries, catering to an audience of more than 12 other interns. This experience enhanced my public speaking and presentation skills.

Beyond the technical aspects, my internship at Kidocode enriched my soft skills as well. The demands of multitasking between diverse responsibilities such as student instruction, composing student reports, and testing courses enhanced my time management abilities. As I interacted with fellow team members and students, I further developed strong communication skills that were vital in conducting workshops and providing constructive feedback during testing phases.
