Boitumelo's Story I first became interested in coding through my university studies, where I saw how technology shapes nearly every field and realized how powerful coding can be for problem-solving and creativity. Initially, I was drawn to coding for the logical thinking it requires, and soon enough, I was hooked by the idea that I could build tools, automate processes, and create projects that could make a real impact. Seeing how coding could complement my background in chemistry and computer science also opened my eyes to new possibilities. It wasn’t just about understanding how things worked but about creating solutions from scratch. The more I learned, the more I saw coding as a skill that would help me innovate and adapt, both in my studies and future career.
My motivation for learning to code with SheCodes is rooted in my goal to develop practical skills that align with my studies and career aspirations. As a university student, I've seen how technology influences almost every field, and I want to be on the cutting edge of that change. Coding empowers me to bring my ideas to life, tackle real-world problems, and contribute to projects that make a difference. SheCodes is especially appealing because it’s designed to support women in tech, creating an encouraging environment that makes learning code less intimidating. It’s not just about picking up a new skill; it’s about joining a community of like-minded women who are all pushing boundaries and supporting each other. I’m excited to gain hands-on experience and confidence in coding, knowing that this journey with SheCodes will help me excel in my studies and prepare for a fulfilling career.
For fun, I enjoy activities that let me blend problem-solving with creativity. Coding has become a big part of that, but I also love connecting with others through supportive communities, especially around women in STEM. Learning new skills or finding ways to innovate within what I'm studying keeps things exciting. Whether it's exploring something tech-related, reading up on new topics, or working on a hands-on project, I’m always drawn to activities that let me think outside the box and grow.
