🎓 6 Weeks of Teaching. A Journey to Remember. 🌍
I’m beyond excited to share the completion of my role as a Section Leader for Stanford University’s Code In Place 2025—a global, volunteer-led initiative that brings thousands of learners and teachers together to explore the world of computer science.
Over the past 6 weeks, I had the privilege of teaching and mentoring a group of enthusiastic, committed students through the fundamentals of programming. Watching them learn to think like programmers—solving problems, asking meaningful questions, and growing week by week—was both humbling and inspiring. 💡💻
🌐 What This Journey Meant
What started with an orientation quickly evolved into a journey of shared discovery, virtual classrooms full of curiosity, and a bond between learners from all over the world. These six weeks flew by, but the memories, lessons, and energy will stay with me.
👩🏫 A Global Effort in Teaching
Code In Place isn’t just a course—it’s a movement. Created by Stanford faculty and powered by volunteers worldwide, it embodies the idea that learning should be accessible to everyone.
📈 Watching Growth Happen
Each session brought new challenges, and with every one of them, I saw my students become more confident and capable. From printing “Hello, world” to writing functional Python programs, their progress was incredible.
💬 Shared Learning Moments
Some of the most powerful parts of the journey weren’t just about code—they were the meaningful questions, peer encouragement, and aha-moments that happened in between.
🙏 Heartfelt Gratitude
Thank you to the entire Stanford Code In Place team for making this global teaching experience possible. Your vision to bring CS education to all is truly inspiring.
A special thanks to:
- iCodeGuru
- Sir Zafar Shahid, PhD
- Sir Rizwan Ghaffar
Your constant encouragement, mentorship, and support throughout this journey helped me teach with confidence and lead with purpose.
🌱 Looking Forward
This journey has deepened my belief in the power of teaching and the impact of sharing knowledge. It reminded me that even the smallest effort to help someone understand something better can create a ripple of change.
I’m looking forward to continuing this mission—giving back, teaching more, and staying committed to lifelong learning and mentorship. 🚀
