Really enjoyed sharing my journey in to Tech / UX with the lovely ladies @CodeFirstGirls today. So inspiring to see the work they are doing to champion diversity in Tech. Thanks @YasminYAli for inviting me to your class, always in awe of all you do on top of being a mum of 2!

Ken Robinson saw the future. Saw what education should be all about. We must all continue to push for creativity throughout education, and for access to arts education for all learners. “Creativity is just as important as literacy”.

Lost your job in #retail, #travel, #hospitality or #catering? There are options to retrain & upskill for FREE. Rhys was fed up with his retail job & wanted a career he could be excited about. After the bootcamp he's now loving life working as a Developer at @santanderuk #SOC

Throwback to this pixellated mini-me, created as part of @theSchoolOfCode ’s application process. It was my first experience of #html, #css and #javascript and it was then that I knew this was something I had to pursue! #SoCAvatar #creativecoding bit.ly/SoCAvatar

I was lucky enough to benefit from Mareen's mentorship during @theSchoolOfCode cohort 3 and she has continued to inspire me and show me what's possible, as a fellow mum in tech! #womenInTech #WomenWhoCode
Former primary school teacher Mareen took part in the 2nd School of Code bootcamp last year. Whilst on the course she found out she was expecting. Since leaving the bootcamp she is now flexibly working at the @devsociety_ Check out this video she made.. #WorkFromHome #WomenInTech

For @theSchoolOfCode hackathon today our team used SVG line animation to start building a git command tutorial. Here's the code for our glorious circle⭕️. The idea is that if the user inputs the correct command that part of the diagram animates. 👩‍💻 #WIP #hackathon #animation
