| | Carmo Andrade | Two days at the SheCodes workshop and I'm already a professional developer, or at least it made me feel like one!
Most people get scared to even think about learning code: I was one of them until I met Matt in an SC "teaser workshop" at the place I work and my fear turned into excitement. Starting off with the insight Matt gave us about women's role throughout history and how can we be more relevant in the current tech revolution. It made me feel like I could play a part in its development hence I enrolled in the workshop.
Logistics wise, everything was so well organized, all the volunteers were very helpful and they made a great job creating a nice, welcoming environment for coders to share ideas, chill out during breaks and even having a drink after a long day of coding.
The learning experience was off the chart, in so little time I got to learn a lot and have close contact with a variety of subjects that helped me prepare for a more intensive study in the future. The final project submission was both very challenging but rewarding due to all the support from classmates at Slack.
Overall, the one thing I would change is the number of days, because I surely didn't want to leave!

| | Sara Guerreiro | I came across She Codes when trying unsuccessfully to learn it by myself. I made my mind just the night before to give an opportunity to this workshop. And I am glad I did! I needed some motivation outside the online courses and guidance. It was my first time interacting with code and it felt incredibly empowering. As an inspiring marketeer, learning to code will definitely help develop better digital marketing activities. I had the opportunity to learn the basics of programming with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Thank you She Codes for presenting a whole new world! |
| | Ana Macedo da Cunha | My decision to sign up for this course was 100% right. I wanted to try if coding was a good option for me, and it definitely helped me a lot since I’ve been able to get to know how simple and fun coding can be.
Matt is great, the workshop is very intense, and it helped to figure it out what kind of developers we want to become. |
| | Sara Duarte | I attended this course to help me understand JavaScript, I was having a tough time on my own. I'm very happy to say that it was totally worth it!
Very intense, very complete and also very fun! |
| | Sofia Laranjeiro | SheCodes workshop is an amazing way to get introduced to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. During a two day course, you learn the basics of programming and the languages already mentioned. One could think that in two day you could not possibly understand all of this information, but given its friendly "classroom" environment, the teaching method (say - show - practice) and the continuous application of your knowledge (either through the classroom exercises, homework or the final project) it is certain that you will remember and fully understand the content. Plus, everybody is amazingly friendly - Matt, the volunteers who are always available and the students. I would 100% recommend it! |
| | Joana | I randomly stumbled upon SheCodes one day and, i had always been interested in trying out codding, but, honestly, it always seemed too difficult and complex. However, I searched around the SheCodes website and decided that it wouldn't hurt to try it out. I can definitely say that it was the best decision i could have made, since it literally changed my life! The workshop gives an excellent introduction to front end coding, while also explaining some other important matters of the subject. It is a little intensive, but nothing one cannot do (I'm living proof, since i was sick throughout the whole thing) . It is also challenging, but also very fun! Mat does a great job at explaining things clearly and making sure we're getting it. The whole environment is fun and you don't feel bored or unmotivated, much like the contrary. After this experience I realized that this is something that i want to keep learning and possibly have a career on. I never thought i'd ever feel confident enough to go through it, but this is what SheCodes does to you! |
