Reflections Cohort 1 students shared as they began their bootcamp in August 2026.

“

I came here not knowing what to expect, but meeting the other girls and spending time together gave me a new perspective. I'm excited to start coding, learn new things, and enjoy this experience. I'm looking forward to everything this journey has to offer.

Cohort 1 Student · Community & Coding

“

After today's orientation, I'm very excited for the days ahead. It's not just about being surrounded by a community of girls, but also about developing new skills and building self-confidence. I believe this experience will help me grow, learn, and become more confident in myself.

Cohort 1 Student · Confidence & Personal Growth

“

I want to expand my creativity and learn to think beyond my usual limits. I also want to become more confident when speaking to people, especially in front of large audiences. My dream is to start a business someday, and I know that creativity, communication, and confidence will help me succeed.

Cohort 1 Student · Creativity & Entrepreneurship

“

I want to create something of my own, build a brand, and eventually start a business that makes a difference in my community. I hope to learn how to build websites and develop skills that will help me bring my ideas to life. I know this journey will require hard work, patience, and a willingness to keep learning.

Cohort 1 Student · Entrepreneurship & Community Impact

“

I feel like I'm taking my first steps on a new journey, and I'm ready to learn and overcome whatever challenges come my way. I'm excited about the skills I'll gain during this bootcamp, and I hope to apply them meaningfully in my life and future. I'm looking forward to growing through this experience.

Cohort 1 Student · Learning & Personal Development

“

I want to work in healthcare because I love helping people, but I also dream of starting a clothing brand that gives back to my community and those in need. I want to use my skills and opportunities to make a positive difference in people's lives. I hope this program will become a foundation for achieving those goals.

Cohort 1 Student · Healthcare, Business & Community Service

“

As I begin this program, I know that my knowledge of technology is limited, but I'm determined to learn and grow. I don't want technology to be something that scares me. I want to gain as much knowledge as possible, become more confident in my abilities, and face new challenges with courage.
