#ThatTechGirl drops by #codinghouse @codinghouse to chat with cohorts, take a tour with the #founder, and teach #countrywestern line dancing! Everyday there is a coding challenge...can you solve this #devlife #challenge? #challangeaccepted #challengequeen #newchallenge #oprah of #SiliconValley #StartupLife for the #Millennial #Technology for #Millennials #linedancing #techtwostep #siliconbeach #sayyestothedress
Who Me? Yes Me!
Coding House this one goes to you! Why choose me? Its simple! Women deserve to have the same chance and opportunity as their counterparts. This topic is taboo and uncomfortable among men and be able to change this culture will act as a catalyst to change the ratio. In fact, just the question itself asks, “why should you change the ratio?,” has made it apparent that women are highly underrepresented in this field and should raise the next question, “What can we do to change this?” Coding House definitely has and it shows! Our voices can make it major, they just have to be found in order to be heard.
The long lasting benefits from Coding House that i will create and share:
(1) Bring conversations surrounding coding to communities that are not easily permeable (2) Create spaces where women feel safe to thrive and not feel the constant bias put towards their intellect (3) Stabilize this Latina woman to share her story of how she was able to thrive where she is meant to fail.
Thank you for this opportunity. I understand there are many top-notch women to select from so thank you for giving us a chance! This was a fun filled challenge and a definite learning process.
To the women learning to code, please check out Coding House for scholarships and programs!
I could be a lot better, but for now it will have to do!!
I just made this calculator the other night! So, it doesn’t follow order of operations... or work if you need to do something with a floating point number less than 1 (like 0.something). Not too shabby for an overnight project, though! Feel free to give feedback on the code!
I’ve been a busy lady!
Things have been crazy en la casa Poindexter lately. Got the MacBook Pro, the GoFundMe campaign is in a nice swing, and we are sorting/packing everything to prepare for the estate/yard sale this weekend, and to move back to Durham! I cannot even begin to describe the bundle of nerves I am. This is a huge decision for us, and now that family has started to step in to help out, I feel even more pressure to succeed. It’s one thing to have expectations for yourself, but when other people have put their money (or in the case of my $2500 MacBook Pro,) their credit on the line because they believe in you, it’s kind of a different ballgame. Not that failure was an option before, but it is very humbling to see how much other people believe in me. Sometimes it just hits me, “What the hell am I thinking?”. Moving clear across the country, selling everything we own and spending all of our money for me to do something that I have zero formal instruction in, and, in the grand scheme of things, very little personal instruction in.
Then, I remind myself how disappointed I will be if I don’t try. If I don’t rise to the occasion to meet this challenge face-to-face. Because, on the flip side of things, it’s one thing to tell yourself you can’t do something, but it’s another thing for somebody else to be able to say, “I told you so, you weren’t good enough to even try.” I believe that I can do anything, as long as I put forth my best effort. This is the reason that Coding House is the best fit for me. They take care of most of the things that could be a distraction in order for you to have the best learning environment possible; this will allow me to put forth my best effort and to succeed. I am so lucky to have family, friends, and most of all a loving husband that are so supportive of me and my dreams. All I can do is my best to make them proud!
Btw, I’m writing this on my new MacBook Pro! She is a beauty and a beast! I can’t wait to see what she is fully capable of while building my own apps!
