Ayathula's Story I have always been interested in coding since high school, but it was discouraged by the people in my life. Also, my interest in coding was peaked by the games I played and still play with the cheat apps I created. The complexity of the games is intriguing, as are the graphics. An important factor in my interest in coding was that when my mother got scammed at a bank, I was baffled because I thought the bank was the most safe place.

🙋‍♀️ Ayathula's Motivation

I enjoy seeing things I create come to fruition and benefit not only me but others as well. Coding is empowering. Being able to understand and control technology empowers me to bring my ideas to life. It provides a platform for creativity, enabling me to develop new applications, websites, games, and software that can have a positive impact on people's lives. Also, there are a lot of job opportunities in this career. It's an ongoing program where you can constantly learn new things and challenge your brain. I believe SheCodes is the perfect place for me to feed and continuously challenge my brain, which is always wanting more.

🤹‍♀️ Ayathula's Hobbies

I like to read and enjoy gaming. Crotcheting is also something I enjoy doing. I have also looked into coding sites and started to learn a bit.

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.
