“Cool,” I exclaimed as I won Minesweeper for the first time. As I was playing, I wondered, “How are these games made?” Little did I know that there were multiple lines of code written to engineer the game. Digital games like Minesweeper sparked a curiosity in my six year old mind that incited my passion for Computer Science. As a middle schooler, computers intrigued me. I always wanted to find the answer to the question “How can a small little box be so smart?” To do so, I decided to enroll…

then transferred to a school in Prague, Czechoslovakia, and later determined that a school in Maribor was a better option.
