The Incredible Diana

Hi Diana. My name is Antonia and I discovered you through Twitter. I was actually really impressed from your passion around social media and games. How all this started?

  • Hi, nice to meet you too! I know about programming because my mom is a programmer and I want to learn more about computers. For example how to make games and animations for other children.

That's very nice! And how do you take advantage of a computer?

  • All my classes are online because of coronavirus. I watch tutorials on YouTube when I want to learn Scratch. Also, I practice HTML, CSS, Animoto and other things. I chat with my friends and I learn JavaScript basics in Grasshopper game.

I am impressed Diana! Well done with all this progress. How did you first discovered Scratch?

  • Thank you .. well .. my mom had planned for it.

Sounds logical because she is a programmer. And what about the great "strawberry" game that you created? How you came up with the idea?

  • I watched a similar game on YouTube. I created it, then because it was very simple and there were some bad codes in it, I tried to add more features and removed duplicates in code.

Yes your code it's a really good one. I played the game and I took many yellow strawberries(laugh). Also I saw that you created your own website using HTML & CSS. Did you enjoyed it? What did you liked the most?

  • You must practice. Yellow strawberries are too many. I wanted to add some bombs too.

  • Yes. I want to make my website to share my videos, drawings, photos and so. CSS animation is also very interesting. I love what @jh3yy creates. @BerishaGjonson taught me HTML and CSS for 2 hours, the other day and I practiced more with my mom. Before that, I didn't know how websites were made. This was interesting.

And what about Twitter? How you decided to post your creations in it?

  • I wanted to show my creations to other people, maybe they like it. Also, I follow #100DaysOfCode and report in twitter what I do almost every day. My mom had twitter account and I saw a lot of programmers are there but I'm afraid there are a few children. Twitter doesn't let children to use it. My first account was blocked because I was a child. I love to have thousands followers in Twitter. Now my followers are more than my mom's.

Do you think that computers are useful to other kids like you?

  • Yes. I think computers are useful for everybody.

I agree!! Do you have any other future plans around computers? Something you want to learn?

  • I love designing. I want to know more about CSS.

If you like design and drawings you gonna love CSS.
Thank you Diana for all your time and for your answers! It was a pleasure meeting you!
I hope you learn as more as you can!

  • Thank you. Nice to meet you too!
