And let's face it, not all schools offer a comprehensive computer science curriculum. But fear not! These task cards act as a stepping stone, paving the way for their journey into the realms of Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, and more!

Hold on tight, because here's what's packed inside this treasure trove:
