How We Built TechLadies in Singapore
summary
Community-led initiative teaches 177 women in Singapore and Malaysia coding through an open-source Ruby on Rails curriculum and workshops, then runs a part-time accelerated bootcamp where applicants submit a simple app and are mentored by head coaches who contribute 100 volunteer hours each. Teams build practical nonprofit tools that replace email, paper and Excel; the program places participants into internships and junior roles (7 hires so far) and pairs learners with industry mentors and design studios for product-driven experience.
