Self Reflection

During the session, the mentors instructed and directed their mentees through the exercises. Mentees also asked questions when they didn't understand anything and had effective two-way communication with their mentors. Despite the fact that this was a three-hour session, the mentors were very patient in teaching and explaining things to the mentees that they were unfamiliar with. Whenever the mentees had a misunderstanding or uncertainty regarding the topic at hand, they would present numerous examples to ensure that the event's objectives were met. The participants actively listening to the teaching of the mentor and provide feedback and questioning if they faced any issues or problems. These scenarios lead to develope an effective communication skills between mentors and mentees. The process of exchanging ideas, thoughts, opinions, knowledge, and data occured in the session so that the message is received and understood with clarity and purpose. 

Overall, the participants and mentors of this programme have benefited greatly from this programme. This event not only served as a "clinic" for individuals who are new to programming, but it also gave them the opportunity to strengthen their understanding of the necessary topics about C++ programming, thus improve their problem-solving and critical thinking skills while doing the coding.
