Background
As I was completing my journey as a CS50 (Harvard's Intro to Computer Science course) student, the staff sent out an opportunity for students to host a CS50 seminar to teach other students about interesting things with computer science. I applied, and fortunately, I got an opportunity to share my interesting bit of CS!
​
Why Tkinter? I first taught myself programming through following the courses of Qazi from Clever Programmer, and in one of his courses, he introduced Tkinter. I found it not only interesting, but also cool that instead of showing the beauty of programs through a terminal, I can do it through GUIs that are visual and interactive. In my seminar, I go through the mindset of using Tkinter and perform some live coding to showcase how to create your own simple GUI.
