About
The Python Class that we are taking during Technology class is a program that teaches us how to use the coding material Python by taking us through a step by step process to show how to create code using one variable at a time. At the moment we are at unit three in this assignment and so far we have learned how to use different varables, data types, functions, etc.

Pros and Cons |
The Python Project uses Information Skills throughout every part of the program due to the nature of coding being completely technology based. Coding forces you to learn how to speak the programming language to complete any assignments which shows the ability to understand different types of text.
This assignment has helped me grow my use of the Information Skills throughout every aspect. Coding is a computers innards. When learning that you are able to understand how technology works more, opening up a work of possibilities of what you could do with that knowledge. Python has helped me understand more about computer programs and taught me how to see past what the output of the computer is and see the workings inside.

I am most proud of how I was able to do some of these projects. seeing the progress that is made when using this program is one of the most satifying things. you get to use the code yourself and develop different simulations and watching how much you have grown when you do this feels very accomplishing.
The most difficult part of these assignments is getting myself to do the work. We have to learn how to use the code by watching videos the program gives us and I dislike watching videos for homework because of how hard it is for me to focus on what they are saying sometimes. The program also has its flaws, such as the error messaging that you get when you forget to even just put a period down in the correct spot. Because of all these variables I end up procrastinating and not doing it at all.

What Could be Better |
Past and Future Learning |
The main thing that could go better with this program was if I completed everything. Whenever you get just a bit behind its very difficult to catch up due to you needing to finish all of the assignments in order. In the past I would force myself to work harder so that I would not be as behind as I was today. Also I would ask for help more as I have a lot of difficulty doing that.

We have done coding almost every single year in the past. Due to that, the assignments that we are doing right now are just building on what we have done in past years slowly. The school is a stem school and I believe it is mandatory to teach Teach or Engineering every single year.
I can apply this knowledge when I go to college. I am planning on getting a degree in engineering and due to that I will most likely need to know how to code things. Coding will be extremely useful in the future due to this so I should continue my work for this.
