I’m not a shy person, but I’ve always been a bit doubtful in my abilities. During the Summer Immersion Program, we had to code an mp3 player. When I realized that I could use code to make something I use every day, it made me braver. Read More

I am a more able, confident, and ambitious girl with big dreams and I want to share that with everyone around the world. Read More

Girls Who Code gave me the kind of education you can’t find in a classroom.
