Helena's Story At school, during Brazilian high school. My school had a robotics project for racing cars programmed with C# language. I was 15 years old at the time and insisted on participating, as I always liked learning new things. A few years later I became a volunteer teacher at the school where I studied. And as the years went by, even though I tried other areas of work, I didn't find myself in them. So with the encouragement of a great friend I created the courage to return to the technology area.

🙋‍♀️ Helena's Motivation

I would like to learn to code, as I already studied the basics as a teenager, it is an area with many possibilities. Coding to facilitate and help a process for someone, because the area of technology is our present and future.

🤹‍♀️ Helena's Hobbies

Read suspense books to try to discover information along with the characters. And listen to songs in English and watch programs in English to improve my pronunciation and increase my level.

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.
