From Parents and Students of the 2021-2023 Course Offerings
"In the course, I learned a lot. From me struggling to make a good block code to cruising through functions and other difficult topics, this course extremely helped me with coding development. Gurmeher always thoroughly and thoughtfully answered the questions I asked, and had good points of stopping in the lecture to ask for questions. The homework she assigned was not overly difficult, and helped me understand the topic more thoroughly. Overall, this course was a great way for me to learn more coding."

"I had a really great time in this class! It's interesting, engaging, and fun! It also builds very well, so you can do really cool things by the end of it, even though they don't feel that hard. Gurmeher is also amazing! She really knows Python and is very good at teaching it in easy-to-understand ways. Thank you so much for all the work you've done for this class! It's been amazing!"

"I work in research and have been a part of a lot of training courses, and I've been so impressed with your organization and the quality of instruction for the coding class. Both my daughters have really enjoyed what they've learned, and have been excited to show us their work. Thank you for the feedback on their progress and for all you're doing to help them learn!"
- Parent of 8th Grader and 10th Grader
"The pace of the class was good because we moved quickly but still covered each topic thoroughly. It was really helpful when Gurmeher left comments on homework and coding assignments, so that we knew what the correct answer was, and so that we could figure out what we did wrong. I also really enjoyed Kahoot because it was a fun and engaging way to review material and it was a good way to start class. It was also really helpful to practice coding or evaluating code in class because we were able to try it ourselves and ask questions if we needed to."

"I was impressed by Gurmeher’s organization and professionalism. What a great summer project! It gave my daughter something to look forward to twice a week while getting to know some other high school students. Thanks to Gurmeher, and also to her mother for her guidance!"
- Parent of 9th Grader
"Personally my favorite part of this course was the trinket assignments you gave us/the coding we did in class. I think Gurmeher made the class in general pretty interesting and it was easy to catch on to what she was teaching :)"
- Rising 10th Grade Student
"Gurmeher's class was exceptionally organized, when I had to miss classes, she immediately responded and let me attend at a different time slot. She also answered all the questions I had about homework. Homework was never too much, always the right amount and definitely helped me understand topics better. Overall, this class is amazing and I would definitely recommend it!!"

"I loved this class. As a person who didn't really like any type of coding before taking the course, I was surprised to find myself having a lot fun writing the codes. Your teaching was also amazing, the slides were easy to understand and the assignments were all enjoyable. Thank you for a great experience this summer! And also thank you for responding to my emails so fast."

"Your class was well taught and engaging for all of the students. The homework given was challenging enough that I had to think but not overly difficult so as to discourage me from continuing. I would recommend this class to anyone looking for some starter knowledge on python or a review of the basics."
