Humans of First Code: Sarah Yu

“Computer Science is a subject which can open many doors for students in Hong Kong, that is why I care so deeply about this project. This initiative allows an interconnectivity and improved sharing in the community as it encourages the growth of computer literacy at all levels. ”

My Journey in Learning to Code

I was born in Hong Kong, but most of my childhood wasn’t spent here. I spent the majority of my childhood in Madagascar. Access to technology and computer education was scarce. My parents were always worried that I would fall behind in that regard once I returned to Hong Kong. That’s why they, as technology lovers, placed a great importance on computer literacy in our household. Personally, I’ve always loved video games and technology, and I’ve known for a few years now that I wanted to do something in that area as a career.
