Better Late Than Never: Balancing Class 12 Boards with my AI Ambitions (My Scaler YIIC Journey)

#ai #motivation #learning #challenge

Hey Dev.to community! 👋

I’m a Class 12 student deeply invested in the world of Python and AI/ML development. Currently, I'm also participating in the Scaler YIIC 6.0 (Young India Innovation Challenge).

Truth be told, the last few weeks have been a whirlwind. Balancing pre-boards, practical files, and high-level coding challenges means sometimes things slip through the cracks. I missed the initial engagement deadline for the YIIC community task because academic pressure hit its peak.

But here’s the thing about coding—it teaches you debugging. When code breaks, you don't abandon the project; you find the error and fix it.

I’m applying that same logic to this challenge. I might be late to the posting party, but I refuse to lose hope or drop out. Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing insights from my journey as a young developer trying to build real-world AI applications while navigating high school life.

Watch this space. The grind doesn't stop! 💻🚀
