What former students are saying about the program:
This program made me aware of some of this different possible job fields I can do into. It taught me some coding in both JavaScript and Python. It also taught me how to pitch a product idea.
____________
I can honestly say that this program taught me so much more than just coding! After leaving the program I walked through the world as an entrepreneur, critical thinker and a leader. I can look back at my summer with hEr VOLUTION and point it out to an important milestone in my personal and professional journey!
_____________
The program made me realize that stepping out of the box is important. Experiencing the program made me more confident and motivated to take on projects I’d be afraid of doing out of expected failure, and I feel grateful that I don’t think that way anymore.
