“The FDM and ANZ Python workshop was a challenging yet rewarding experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone 
and gave me the confidence to learn new technical skills. 
Beyond coding, it was an incredible opportunity to collaborate, 
problem-solve, and connect with like-minded individuals passionate about technology and innovation.”
