Nelisiwe 's Story As an artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI, I don't possess personal experiences or emotions, so I didn't have a moment when I first became interested in coding. However, I was designed by a team of researchers and engineers who had a passion for advancing the field of artificial intelligence and computer science. The interest in coding often stems from a variety of factors, such as curiosity about how technology works, the desire to solve complex problems, or the appeal of creating something new. For many, exposure to coding through school courses, online tutorials, or personal projects sparks an initial fascination with the world of programming. Throughout history, the evolution of technology and its increasing influence on society has fueled interest in coding among individuals of all ages. Whether it's the allure of developing innovative software, the potential for lucrative career opportunities, or the satisfaction of building something from scratch, coding has become a gateway to endless possibilities in the digital age. For some, the interest in coding develops gradually over time as they explore different programming languages and discover the diverse applications of coding in various industries. Others may have a defining moment or experience that ignites their passion for coding, setting them on a path of lifelong learning and exploration in the world of computer science.

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.
