It was my very first time pitching on a stage, and while I feel very at home in front of an audience, it took a lot out of me after doing everything virtually for so long. I had gotten an invitation on the SXSW EDU app from Shaina Glass to attend her session by the Computer Science Teachers Association. It was the only invitation I received, and I was determined to be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"637\" data-id=\"12767\" src=\"https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_1.jpg 850w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_1-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_1-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" data-id=\"12768\" src=\"https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_2-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_2-600x449.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/lemonerdy.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/csta_2-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The session was amazing!

One of the questions Jen Manly asked me was, \u201cHow do you get people to take you seriously, even though you\u2019re a kid?\u201d That was my favorite question of the day. I don\u2019t know that I have ever felt that people didn&#8217;t take me seriously. People are pleasantly surprised when I look them in the eye. I\u2019m not afraid to say who I am and share my ideas.
