Hawau Omoniyi Hamzat 🇳🇬

“My name is Hawau Hamzat, and I recently had the incredible opportunity to complete a project on SheCodes, a place where passion meets learning. Coming from a non-technical background, I never thought I could bring my ideas to life, but this platform helped me realize my potential. Throughout my journey, I learned invaluable skills, from HTML and CSS to JavaScript, and was able to create a vibrant webpage about one of my greatest loves—R&B music. The support I received from the community, along with the step-by-step guidance, helped me take on challenges I once thought were beyond my abilities. The R&B-themed project I created, featuring my favorite artists, was more than just an assignment; it was a reflection of my growth, creativity, and newly acquired skills. The most rewarding part of this experience was not just completing the project, but the confidence I gained. I’m now able to tackle even more complex challenges in web development with excitement and curiosity. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity, and I highly recommend SheCodes to anyone looking to upskill, especially women like myself who want to break into tech. Thank you for empowering me to turn my passion into something tangible.”

“I’m incredibly grateful to have been awarded this scholarship and to be part of a platform dedicated to empowering women in tech. The journey has been both challenging and rewarding. We had a series of learning sessions, challenges, and homework that helped me build a strong foundation in web development before I got to the final project. For my final task, I was asked to develop a simple webpage about something I’m passionate about, and I chose to create one focused on beetroot and its health benefits. This project allowed me to apply everything I’ve learned, from structuring the content with HTML, styling it with CSS, and adding interactivity using JavaScript. The support and guidance from the community have been invaluable. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made and excited to continue learning and building more complex projects in the future. This experience has truly transformed my confidence and skill set in web development.”
