ADVICE TO YOUNGER SELF
Eyiara first learned computer science in middle school.
“Keep pursuing your inner curiosity to discover not only how things work, but also how to make them better.” This curiosity has led me to my fascination with computer science, and my dedication to spreading this passion and opportunity to others; I hope that my advice to my younger self would make him even more motivated to pursue that curiosity!
