Computer Science and Software
Development school exclusively for
women. The Hackbright Academy
Programming Fellowship is a training
program designed to help women
become awesome programmers. We
teach the fundamentals of modern
web development, then introduce our
students to Silicon Valley companies
looking to expand their engineering
teams.<br><center><h3> Goals </h3></center>
<br>
<ul><li>Our goals at Hackbright Academy are to be the best place to become a software
engineer and to help more women become software engineers. That’s why
Hackbright Academy is exclusively for women. It’s been quite the journey so far! We’ve helped over
50 women break into the industry with confidence, relationships, and skills that will
last a lifetime. We’ve worked with many great companies over the past year, and
most recently, we’ve begun working with Facebook.</li><br><li>Facebook also cares deeply about helping more women succeed as software
engineers. Today, we’re excited to announce a special sponsorship with Facebook for
women who have taken a career break from tech — the Moms in Tech Sponsorship.</li><br><li>There are many women who have started successful careers in tech who choose to
put their career on hold to dedicate more time to their children and families. When
these women think about returning to work, we want to help them lean back in to
their careers with the most up-to-date skill set and technical abilities. <strong>The Facebook
Moms in Tech Sponsorship will cover the full $12,000 tuition to Hackbright</strong> where
these women will be able to refresh their technical skills and learn entirely new
ones so they’re well-equipped to rejoin the workforce.</li></ul>
