We were introduced to WAAW Foundation and also the SHA initiative which is aimed at reaching the UN's Sustainable Development Goals 4, 5 and 8 which are Quality Education, Gender Equality and  Decent Work and Economic Growth respectively.

Their ability to break complex ideas into their barest form making it understandable for even beginners is remarkable. More remarkable is their hands on approach which helps to ensure that everyone is learning at the same pace. We were also graced with the presence of guest instructors…

We are team - Zenith and we will like to share our experience at the ongoing She Hacks Africa coding bootcamp, cohort 7 - Week 1. The program kicked off on Monday the 3rd of September, 2018.

On Tuesday the 4th of September, we started the day with an interesting ice breaking session anchored by Funke…

For every member of the team, getting selected among a pool of other applicants into the cohort seven of She Hacks Africa coding bootcamp was fascinating and overwhelming. Little did we know however that the experiences that await us would be way beyond our preparations and expectations. Right from the very first day, we learnt a lot and were so excited that we kept looking forward to the next day. Even though we all expected to be taught about software development, we were also taken through amazing lessons on leadership and entrepreneurship, so as to learn how to sustain our businesses and make profits as much as we want to provide solution to problems and make a difference in the world. We also learnt to work in teams and brainstorm…
