Since finding my terminal and beginning coding (after far too long). I have taken to it as a fish to water. There isn't a career in the world that I could imagine more possibilities. With these new skills my fellow graduates of the bootcamp Founders and Coders and decided to give back and make this community stronger and more diverse. The eventual aim is to have a top notch agency working alongside our school.
Founders and Coders has been the first fully supported self-organising and student led coding bootcamp in London. Currently my fellow graduates and I are working on growing this amazing community.
Now we are starting to take on paid work and show off our new skills, we are also helping to organise future courses and ensure a high level of candidates and future co-workers.
Give us a shout if you want to learn more, or be involved in anyway: contact@foundersandcoders.org
