1) Self-Reflection:

During this program, we learned the basics of python programming. My roles in this program are both as a participant and as a technical crew.

a. Participant role:

As a participant, I engaged myself in learning the basics of Python Programming. For me, this is a crucial step, especially for beginners, as Python is a versatile and widely used language. At least, the first step I took was to expose myself to Python before I get to understand it deeper.

I have heard that python was an easy language. Indeed, I was surprised on how simplified it was and I get to understand why it is getting popular especially for data science where handling a lot of data is already as complicated, so python is going to help a lot.

b. Technical crew role:

As a technical crew member, I took the responsibility for various technical aspects such as managing the sound system which is essential for smooth communication during the event. Other than that, my team members and I also handled the slides for the learning purpose to help the mentor conveying the related knowledge on the programming.

Participating in the "Code on Weekend: Python" workshop allows me to gain crucial skills. Effective communication ensured smooth technical handling and participant engagement, which enhances the overall learning experience. Handling technical challenges allow me and my team to improve our problem-solving abilities, in order to keep the workshop on track.

Other than that, I learned that being adaptable was crucial for overcoming unexpected issues without causing disruptions. Overall, the workshop not only expanded our Python programming knowledge but also sharpened essential skills in technology, communication, problem-solving, and adaptability, which are essential for effective teaching and learning.
