PyCon APAC 2023

I will talk about how Python, and activities and communities related to it, affected my school life adventures and made them More Easier, more Exciting, and Fun.

Specifically, I will talk about the following:
- The different Fun Python Projects I made during my undergrad. One of them was during Valentine's when I made a valentines card generator that utilizes machine learning to create unique abstract paintings out of people’s faces during Valentine's for every person. It was a random project I came up with as a joke since I spend more time coding than finding my own valentines. It was an enjoyable project that made me love coding and making projects. Sharing this experience will give everyone a good perspective on my struggles with conceptualizing a project just for the fun of it and having the motivation to work on it continuously! Detailing my experience here will be helpful to all beginners in Python!

• The different automation scripts and packages in Python made life much easier during undergrad. They were Python scripts for automating sending emails, automating certificate generation for events, cleaning class records, and using Django for creating fast, quick scalable websites for class assignments that would have taken much longer for other languages and packages. I aim to give a perspective throughout this section on how Python can make simple and easy scripts that automate the “boring and tedious” work that comes with school life.

• And lastly, how the Python Philippines Community made my after-class sessions much more fun! Having a common space with like-minded individuals who love automation, and talking about nerd topics and random projects made my school life much more fun. I will go into detail on how much of an impact the Python PH community in my creativity, motivation, and overall skillsets. This section of my talk will be helpful in everyone’s journey regardless of their proficiency in Python!
