SHECODERS

A cloud-based website to promote diversity in tech which provides resources gives information about scholarships- internships, a programming console, and a platform for people to connect.

The problem SHECODERS solves

Women in Shecoders can join us as a participant or mentor according to their proficiency. Here we have an open-source project corner where they can access projects from GitHub: beginner-friendly resources- HTML CSS JavaScript, books, programming languages like c c + +; hackathon corner in which we showcase various women hackathons; opportunity corner, where there are scholarships and internships like Google, Microsoft, Adobe; fun zone in which we have included a game, Girls in tech.
We have a corner- nearby, where you can see libraries near you and the location of other fellow mates near you. Here we provide many tests and, there is a try your code console, which gets redirected to an online GDB. There is a schedule corner where we provide a weekly schedule, then there is our team, webinars which we conduct, facts and contact us. We have to use Google cloud map API for the library nearby, firebase cloud messenger messaging to provide a platform to communicate; also provided a discord link so that women can form groups and discuss their doubts and concepts.
We have very personally felt the overwhelming loneliness, self-doubt, and frustration that often comes with the minority status of a woman in engineering. As much as we can help others get through or avoid those difficult stretches that we ourselves had to weather, We’d like to. As a bonus, the more women (and minorities) that enter and don’t leave the field, the better it all gets for everyone, including us.

Challenges we ran into

Being Indian, we didn’t get access to google cloud credits. So we had to use the spark plan of firebase. It took a lot of time to understand how it works.
