High School

Visit Codeacademy (https://www.codecademy.com), edX (https://www.edx.org), Coursera (https://www.coursera.org), and Khan Academy (https://www.khanacademy.org), where you can learn how to code for free. Speech, drama, or other performance courses will also help get you used to speaking in front of a crowd.
