🙋‍♀️ Setara 's Motivation

Growing up, I never heard of women in Tech which is typical of living in a patriarchal society. During high school, the situation almost stayed the same. I did not have a computer or personal phone and my knowledge about technology was little and I did not have access to the internet. Majority of the girls my age hated mathematics, physics, chemistry and we never found the opportunity to grow an interest in these subjects. I grew a passion for coding and IT when I started studying at American University of Afghanistan. It was surprising and inspiring to see so many girls choosing IT as their majors. IT is the future and as girls in afghanistan are deprived of their basic rights, I believe IT is the way out. It is a good way to empower girls in Afghanistan for a big change. SheCodes is an amazing opportunity for me to explore coding and to be part of the next generation of women in STEM. I love working with girls who are passionate about IT and coding and who do not want to be left behind as the world is changing rapidly and AI is everywhere and SheCodes is the right place.
