Akshara's Story I first got into coding in school around 8th grade, where we started with Java. At that time it was just something we were taught, and honestly the logic behind all the syntax confused me a lot. It took me a while to actually understand what was going on, so I mostly just followed what was asked. But I scored pretty good marks, which gave me some confidence, and I realized I actually kind of liked coding. So when it came to choosing later, going for CSE just felt like the right option.

🙋‍♀️ Akshara's Motivation

I was introduced to coding in school, but it mostly felt like just doing what was asked without really understanding much. Because of that, I never felt fully confident with it. Now I actually want to understand what I’m doing instead of just following instructions. I like the idea of building things on my own, even if they’re small right now, and I’m just trying to improve step by step. I’m also planning to go into robotics, so I know having a strong coding base really matters. SheCodes felt like a good place to start learning in a way that’s not too overwhelming.

🤹‍♀️ Akshara's Hobbies

I mostly enjoy reading in my free time. I’m still figuring out my interests and haven’t really discovered all my talents yet, but I do like creating things. Recently, I’ve been trying to build stuff like simple websites with the help of AI, and I find that pretty interesting.

The SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The SheCodes Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
