Mellisa's Story I first became interested in coding out of curiosity and a desire to understand how the digital tools and platforms I use daily work. The realization that coding is the foundation of these technologies sparked a fascination with the process of creating and problem-solving through programming. Hearing stories of how individuals transformed their ideas into applications, websites, and software solutions using code inspired me to explore this field further. The possibility of bringing my own ideas to life and contributing to technological advancements motivated me to dive into learning more about coding languages and development processes. This initial curiosity has grown into a passion for technology and innovation

SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women currently hold 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less money than men. In most developing countries, more than 65% of women don't have bank accounts and cannot afford to invest in their education. Female refugees also don’t have many opportunities to invest in their education and improve their career horizon - they often work in unskilled, undervalued, and low-paid informal sectors.

SheCodes is here to help provide women in developing countries and women who are refugees with the opportunity to learn how to code for free. SheCodes offers a solid introduction to product development, product design and product management.
