Sisterhood of Coding;Hoorah!
The stereotype of “The All Girls School” has a new meaning. Hackbright Academy has taken a stand against the gender war gap in technology. The academy located in California is offering a ten week crash course. This novice to programmer in course defeats the odds. The course is designed to educate future female programmers to the world of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python and more. Woman across the country are leaving their jobs and moving to Silicon Valley with hopes to expand their knowledge and their wallets.
It’s a known fact that the computer science field has been dominated by men. So, this fact about the academy would floor women everywhere. The Hackbright Academy was founded by men, David J. Phillips and Christian Fernandez. These two men believe in the code, not the gender. Their vision has invoked the inner geek in a growing number of women. The academy gives a chance for these women to conquer the dream of having a career in the technology realm.
As part of the 10 week crash course, an interesting component is addressed, the interview for the new job. This crucial obstacle in this line of work becomes a challenge of should I or should I not. You may have new found skills; however, can women overthrow the label that this is a man’s dominion? I think a woman’s touch is exactly what the market needs. The sisterhood of coding is on the rise, the Diva’s of Code shouting hoorah!
