Roya's Story I am originally from Farah, a city where people don't even know what a flash drive is or how it can contain loads of information and data, but living in Herat and studying my school years at a Turkish foundation with an international teaching system that provides a platform that transcends boundaries helped me develop unique skills and knowledge along with achievements on a global scale. Computer projects at the science fair at school and working on robotic projects and apps have built my passion for learning coding and computer programs since 10th grade.

🙋‍♀️ Roya's Motivation

As a recent high school graduate looking to improve my skills in the computer science field in order to qualify for scholarships at a time when the present administration in my country prohibits all ladies' educational institutions, I stumbled upon the chance to enroll in this class. Learning how to code with the Shecodes Foundation will be a golden chance, not only because it offers a free workshop but also because it will help me cultivate analytical skills, enhance critical thinking, and foster adaptability—the skills that are highly transferable to various job roles.

🤹‍♀️ Roya's Hobbies

Mathematics, photography, and learning new languages, along with writing articles and essays about different topics, are what I prefer to do to fill my free time and make me feel happy, especially when I find out the solution to mathematics problems!

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.
