Agnes's Story I saw through the internet that coding is truly refreshing and fulfilling, providing me with constant challenges and excitement. It motivates me to wake up every day and discover the new problems I need to solve and the experiences that will help me tackle them. Whenever I face a new challenge, it ignites a sense of curiosity within me, and when I eventually overcome it, I am filled with a great sense of accomplishment and joy. I've been doing short course in data science and I wanted to do more and learn more

🙋‍♀️ Agnes's Motivation

Learning to code is a critical skill for women that can empower, provide independence, and create opportunities for success in the tech industry. Women who learn to code can break down gender barriers, gain higher salaries, pursue entrepreneurial ventures, and develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Despite the challenges that women may face in the tech industry, there are resources available to help them overcome these obstacles and succeed. By joining supportive communities, advocating for gender equality, and embracing a growth mindset, women can unlock their potential and make a positive impact on society. As technology continues to play an essential role in our lives, learning to code is no longer just a desirable skill, but a necessary one. By learning to code, women can not only improve their own lives but also contribute to the advancement of the tech industry and society as a whole.

SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women currently hold 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less money than men. In most developing countries, more than 65% of women don't have bank accounts and cannot afford to invest in their education. Female refugees also don’t have many opportunities to invest in their education and improve their career horizon - they often work in unskilled, undervalued, and low-paid informal sectors.

SheCodes is here to help provide women in developing countries and women who are refugees with the opportunity to learn how to code for free. SheCodes offers a solid introduction to product development, product design and product management.
