The Girls Go IT training was very useful for me. It touched on many issues related to the IT area, showing that IT is not just programming, and that there are many opportunities in the IT area and everyone can choose what interests them the most. - Agnieszka, 25 years old
The course was an interesting and inspiring introduction to the world of technology. I appreciate that it was designed in such a way as to give participants a quick overview of various IT-related issues. (...) I think that this course is an interesting introduction for people who are just starting out in IT. Although it was relatively short, I think it is an excellent introduction for those who want to explore this career path. This format is ideal for people who want to find out if the IT industry is for them. Additionally, it encouraged independent work, which is an essential element of learning programming. It is worth emphasizing how important such initiatives are, especially in the context of women's participation in the technology sector and regardless of their age. This program plays a great role in motivating and engaging women, also by meeting those of them who have already directed their career path in this direction and achieved amazing achievements. It opens up new possibilities and perspectives for pursuing a career in the IT sector despite the inequalities that exist there. Additionally, it helps to open the community to the importance of diversity in the technology sector. - Gabriela, 24 years old
The course certainly encouraged me in the sense that it made me realize that gaining knowledge in IT requires as much humility and patience as in any other field ("the devil is not as black as he is painted"), but it is achievable. I managed to understand what topics interest me and for now I plan to learn on my own, so that I can take another course in some time. - Agnieszka, 27 years old
This is a great opportunity to learn and develop in the field of IT, especially for those who are just starting their adventure with this industry. As for possible suggestions, I think the program was very comprehensive. However, there could be more classes related to specific tools and technologies that are currently popular on the labor market on the basis of the possibility of choosing a further path of choosing a specific module/area for development after the course, to maintain motivation also after the course. To sum up, I am very happy with my participation in the Girls Go IT program. It was a fantastic adventure for me, which opened up new possibilities in the world of technology. Thank you for this opportunity and I wish the project further development. - Małgorzata, 25 years old
The "Girls Go IT" training, in which I participated, was a bull's eye. The classes were conducted in a very well-thought-out and organized way. The division into individual thematic blocks allowed us to focus on one topic during several lessons. Thanks to this, it was possible to deal with the issues presented during the classes in an organized and thoughtful way. (...) During my participation in the project, I managed to take up a job as a manual tester. I believe that, among other things, the knowledge I have from many aspects helped me, thanks to which I find my current job great. - Natalia, 31 years old
I am very happy with my participation in the GirlsGoIT course. The course allowed me to broaden my horizons, but also to organize my knowledge in the areas I have worked with so far. I finally understand what my friends are writing in the Linux console. I definitely recommend GirlsGoIT! I will use the knowledge in my daily scientific work, especially in the field of Python, but also HTML, CSS, UX and UI. - Karolina, 29 years old
Due to the career path I chose, the elements of the project that I liked the most were Python programming. The way the classes were conducted allowed me to understand complex programming concepts in an accessible and understandable way. Both the lectures and the practical exercises were very helpful and allowed me to gain and develop programming skills. (...) I will definitely use the knowledge I gained in the future. I want to develop in the field of Data Science and despite my initial doubts, I am now sure that it was a good idea. The training (which, as I have already written, also covered the basics of Python programming) provided me with a solid foundation for independent learning and work in this area. The course program was generally very well balanced and I am sure that each participant found something for herself. - Anita, 27 years old
The course was very diverse and provided me with basic knowledge in programming. I liked the topics related to programming in Python the most. The instructors conveyed knowledge in an accessible way and based on examples that the students could practice during the classes. I will use the knowledge and skills I have gained as a starting point for further development of my skills. The mentoring meetings were also very valuable. I definitely recommend this course to women who want to learn the basics of programming and are thinking about choosing a career in the IT industry. - Izabela, 31 years old
The classes were conducted in an orderly manner, and the instructors were well prepared, cordial and eager to help. The training program not only met my expectations, but exceeded them. In the future, I would like to use the knowledge gained during the course to build a professional career path. After completing the training, I do not plan a career in the IT sector, but I intend to change employment to one that requires knowledge of programming (risk management or data analysis). - Paulina, 27 years old
I rate the Girls Go It course very well. I think it is an excellent opportunity to get to know the issues from the world of IT. (...) I rate the Girls Go It course very well. I think it is an excellent opportunity to get to know the issues from the world of IT. - Amanda, 24 years old
Participating in the Girls Go IT project not only allowed me to acquire or develop certain skills, but also made me aware of my shortcomings in this area. And this is very important when we are thinking about changing careers. An undoubted advantage of the course was learning about the specifics of working in IT, as well as realizing that it is not only based on knowledge acquired during strictly technical studies, but also on competences in the field of psychology or sociology. - Paulina, 30 years old
During the course, what I liked the most was the constant interaction with the instructors, which I was a bit afraid of before because of the online format. The instructors answered every question on an ongoing basis and regularly reminded me about the possibility of reporting problems, thanks to which I felt that if I was not doing well, it was not "nothing wrong" but a natural learning process. - Sylwia, 28 years old
A big advantage of this course is that it covers topics from various fields, which allows people who are just entering the world of IT to find out which of the technologies they have learned about suits them best. - Natalia, 24 years old
Thanks to the course, I was able to see if IT is for me. I highly recommend taking the course to every woman who has ever thought about working in the IT industry. Thanks to this course, I discovered that I would like to try working in UX/UI, and also that HTML is not as bad as it seems. The wide selection of topics also allowed me to recognize which department I would not like to work in at all, because I do not feel strong in it. - Paulina, 23 years old
The classes were conducted in a very interesting way, they were definitely practical, which allowed to practice all the issues discussed. The lecturers are people with great knowledge, conveying it in a very accessible and interesting way. They answered every question with commitment and patience. - Alicja, 27 years old
Thanks to the remote form of the course, I could use it practically anywhere, which definitely influenced my high attendance and the possibility of participating in every class. It is worth mentioning that thanks to the offered conversations with mentors from both the Department of Computer Science and Motorola, I was able to compare my CV, get valuable advice and tips regarding my future career in IT. - Aleksandra, 22 years old
After completing the training, I am considering working in the IT sector. I would recommend the course to other women because it teaches basic programming in an easy way. Thanks to the course, I am no longer afraid to take up my own activities in the IT industry. The course made learning easier for us, and the useful materials that you can always return to are a big plus. - Natalia, 20 years old
I think it's a great opportunity for women who are interested in IT and want to expand their knowledge in an accepting, supportive environment. I learned about the IT world from the inside and gained useful experience. - Martyna, 18 years old
Thanks to the “Girls go IT” project, I have rediscovered IT - this time from a more pleasant side than before. I am a graduate of a technical school with an IT profile. Half a year ago, I was planning to change my education and go to university, in no way related to IT. However, thanks to the classes as part of the course, I discovered an IT field in which I could fulfill myself. - Maria, 23 years old
