At Sisters of Code, understanding our students' experiences is crucial. That's why every year, we carefully collect feedback and insights from our students. This valuable information helps us continually improve our programs and ensure that we provide meaningful education that truly makes a difference. Here are the insights shared by our most recent cohort of aspiring female coders.
Building Confidence Through Real Coding
Our recent survey revealed that students highly valued the HTML/CSS programming module, indicating a strong interest in hands-on coding beyond visual programming. Remarkably, 75% of students reported feeling significantly more confident in their coding abilities, a testament to the program's effectiveness.
Navigating Challenges Successfully
Despite facing challenges such as limited internet connectivity and balancing homework, 42% of students felt they managed the course comfortably. This highlights resilience and determination, yet emphasizes the ongoing need for accessible resources and support.
Expanding Opportunities in Tech
Students expressed eagerness to explore more in-depth topics, particularly web development, while 21% showed interest in Graphics and Design skills. The majority received strong support from their parents, highlighting the essential role of family encouragement in educational success.
However, barriers remain. Students pointed out the limited availability and high costs of tech courses, and 28% believed technology is inherently challenging. Addressing these perceptions and logistical barriers remains critical for broader participation.
Student Voices and Inspirations
We're delighted that every student would rejoin our programs and recommend them to their peers. One student shared, “Sisters of Code has encouraged many young girls to pursue education in technology. I've gained valuable knowledge, confidence, and immense encouragement from this experience.”
