[Romy Ilano]

HackBright Academy is legit. One of my friends is the Director of
Operations there and she is a bright professional programmer who is
passionate about teaching women--she is also mostly self taught and was a
teenaged mother! really cool stuff. Many of the students finish the
programming are getting some incredible offers from tech companies--really
cool salaries.

Anyway:

Hackbright AcademyHackbright Academy is an accelerated 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.
Goals

   - 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.
   - 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.
   - 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. *The Facebook Moms in Tech Sponsorship will
   cover the full $12,000 tuition to Hackbright* 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.
