Student Quotes

"I kind of ruled out anything with coding as a future career before, but I am definitely interested in that field in the future."

"I loved this class so much because of the independence that came with it, and how the mentors just let us figure it out on our own."

"I always thought that coding was for boys, but doing this class made me realize that coding is for boys and girls and that I can code too and actually enjoy it."
