Review for CompTIA Spark, Downers Grove, IL, USA
I have had a wonderful experience with CompTIA Spark through Techgirlz. I recently became a part of the Teen Advisory Board (TAB) and have volunteered in the past as a TA for the Intro to JS workshop they host, and I am soon to be volunteering for a Python Programming course. As a woman in tech, I have always felt saddened by the lack of gender diversity in my high school computer courses. I had to introduce myself to coding in middle school as there was nothing to encourage young women to pursue it. This organization is the next step towards the brightest future. It is showered in endless new opportunities for all people involved, and it empowers girls to become future IT leaders through fun, free, and innovative ways. I am constantly introduced to new information every day through the TAB, and it helps me feel motivated to continue on this career path in times I need it the most. Thank you for reading!
