How We Built TechLadies
summary
TechLadies runs a part‑time bootcamp that has produced 29 graduates across three cohorts, with seven moving into technical roles and graduates building apps used by nine nonprofits (a film submission tool, classroom manager, donor CRM). The program pairs beginners with industry mentors, uses a public curriculum on GitHub, runs coding weekends, study groups and peer Tech Talks, and reports that real NGO projects and structured learning — plus volunteers donating 100+ hours — turn novices into hireable juniors.
