feat: first program

My first ever program was this fish game in Scratch I made in the 5th grade. I was so proud of it!

feat: science fair

I programmed an audio game for my friend who is visually impaired for my science fair project. I got to share my game with dozens of visually impaired students, and in those moments, I realized how big of an impact technology could make in others' lives.
