Aika's Story It was during my last year at high school, one of the seniors came and talk about her experience in the tech world she has a degree in computer science, and she was the first person to open my mind that women can become a programmer, women can also code and solve problems, and that's when I started to get more interested into learn how to code, being curious on how to use the code knowledge to solve problems and come up with different solutions that can help the community.

🙋‍♀️ Aika's Motivation

Well, coding is fun and challenging at the same time. So the spirit of solving the problem and at the same time being able to come up with the solution motivates me to code. But why did I choose SheCodes and why am I motivated to learn to code with Shecodes? This is because I did try to learn code through the self-taught method in which I was able to get some basics knowledge but self-taught is not for the weak, and am not saying am weak but since I did not have the guidance and support on which way to go like what language should I learn first and in which order it becomes difficult and found myself going around learning without being able to reach the point where I wanted to be. So after I decided on what I wanted to do career-wise I need to choose a platform that will be a good place for me to learn, that's when I came around SheCodes workshop programs after seeing the structure of the curriculum and all the lessons they offer seems to be a perfect place for me to start my career journey.

🤹‍♀️ Aika's Hobbies

Apart from coding, I like designing, especially product design, and coming up with brand ideas and strategies. Also l like watching movies, reading some books, Comics books, spending time with family, going out and having time with friends, and sleeping.

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.
