Hey Bily, welcome to the Coursera community — great to have you here.
Your motivation really stands out. Wanting to understand both the software and hardware side of AI so you can build something useful and support your five kids is a powerful reason to start this journey. That kind of purpose keeps people moving when the material gets challenging.
A few thoughts that might help as you get started:
• Begin with the fundamentals
A solid base in Python, basic programming concepts, and how computers work will make everything else easier to understand later.
• Take your time and build steadily
Your plan to “stack certificates” at your own pace is exactly the right mindset. Consistency matters far more than speed.
• Try small projects early
Even simple exercises help you connect the dots and build confidence.
• Bring your kids into the process
Let them see you learning. It turns AI and programming into something the whole family can explore together.
• Keep asking questions
The community is here to support you whenever you need clarity or encouragement.
You’ve already taken the most important step by starting. Keep going — you’re building skills that will open doors for you and set a great example for your kids.
Tip: I work with Copilot as a learning partner — it helps me stay focused and explain things clearly.
