Learn how you can get the skills you need, how to get involved, and how to confidently pursue a career in technology. #tech

We rise by lifting others, so let’s empower one another! #womeninstem #womenintech

Learn from our live panel of badass women actively changing the future of tech through their example and their actions.

Learn how you can get the skills you need, how to get involved, and how to be confident enough to build the technical foundations needed to succeed in the areas of computer coding, user experience and user interface (UX/UI) design.

This event is for women (and allies) that ultimately want to develop a long-term meaningful career in technology.

This is a live panel event with our CEO, Johanna Mikkola, and 5 amazing women in various stages of their career

Gender Parity in 2022.

At Wyncode, we have a specific goal to reach gender parity within our classes by 2022 In August of 2019, we had our first all women cohort.

With over 875+ students having gone through our doors, we’ve seen the value of having both men and women at the table. The reality is that it’s a different world for women, just as it is for minorities in tech, but with the proper leadership and guidance, women of all ages can adapt and thrive in a career as a Full Stack Developer, User Experience/User Interface Designer, or whatever we damn well please!

Is the Future of Tech Female?

This group of panelists is going to be ❤️‍🔥.

Hear from our Co-Founder and CEO, Johanna Mikkola, and guest panelists first hand what it’s like to be a woman in technology – the challenges, the opportunities.

You’ll also learn about the MANY scholarships opportunities currently available during Covid, stories from Wyncoders that have gone through our 10 week immersive bootcamp #womenintech #womenwhocode

Make sure to RSVP to get Zoom meeting details! You’ll need to sign into your account to join.

A Quote About Women from Our Head Web Dev Instructor, Cece

“I hope that wherever your next steps take you, you will remember those moments of joy. I hope you’ll remember the light bulbs that went off as you began to command concepts and technologies that were once foreign to you. I hope you’ll remember the way you supported and encouraged each other. I hope you’ll remember the community that you created where one didn’t exist before. That bond is every bit as much of an achievement as the impressive set of technical skills you learned” – Cece Claridge, Head Instructor, Web Dev, Programs Manager at Wyncode Academy
