Hi Vivi. You're doing great! The next classes you choose should align with what you want to focus on, like web design, app development, cybersecurity, data analytics, virtual reality, or AI. It's a good idea to learn different programming languages like C++ or Java. Being strong in one language is important, but knowing others can open more doors for you. I also suggest taking AI courses, as they're increasingly important in many careers, along with data analytics and database systems. If you're interested in web design, consider classes in both backend and frontend development. For cybersecurity, a network security class would be beneficial.

Hi Vivi,
Great question and great to know that you want to increase your knowledge by taking other classes. This is the best time to explore different subjects. The best courses that will help you in the future are:
Programming Fundamentals - You're already on the right path and you've taken intro to Python. If this interests you then learn more about it. This is a great language and will help you in the field of data science
I'm sure you've already taken math classes but think about algebra, geometry, statistics
Robotics - This is another great hands-on coding and systems thinking that you can explore if your school offers it.
Cybersecurity - This is in great demand and getting to understand cybersecurity will help you
Data Science and AI basics - Once you understand basic programming, explore these.
I hope this helps.
