Erickah's Story My interest in coding first sparked when I was exposed to the idea of programming through my first year in university. For instance, I might have encountered a coding project in a class, explored a programming tutorial online, or heard about the impact of technology on various fields. The problem-solving aspect of coding, along with the ability to create something from scratch, captivated me. I was excited by the potential to build tools and applications that could make a difference or simply solve everyday challenges. This initial curiosity quickly grew into a passion, leading me to dive deeper into learning programming languages and pursuing more advanced projects.
My motivation for learning to code with SheCodes is driven by a passion for technology and a desire to build practical skills in a supportive and structured environment. SheCodes offers a clear curriculum that simplifies complex concepts and provides hands-on projects, which are crucial for applying what I learn in real-world scenarios. The opportunity to be part of a supportive community that encourages women in tech is particularly inspiring, and I am excited about the career advancement possibilities that coding skills can offer. Ultimately, SheCodes empowers me to turn my ideas into reality and make a meaningful impact through technology.
