Mission Hackbright Academy is the leading engineering school for women with a mission to increase female representation in tech through education, mentorship and community. Over the last 25 years, the percentage of women pursuing technical paths has dropped significantly. While the representation of women in fields like medicine, law and physical sciences has improved, hundreds of thousands of women have fallen from the ranks of computer science.
Description To close the gender gap in engineering and technology, we have reimagined and improved engineering education through a customized model that has proven to bring women back into the field. With the increasing influence of technology on everyday lives, it is our goal to include women as technology creators through three main avenues: education, mentorship and community.
Education
Software Engineering Fellowship
We offer a 12-week accelerated software engineering fellowship where women can learn the fundamentals of computer science and modern web development, and ultimately become software engineers. We have alumnae working and diversifying teams at companies such as Facebook, Uber, Lyft, SurveyMonkey, Eventbrite, New Relic and many more.
Part-Time Night Courses
Our part-time courses give women proficient coding skills to level up on the job, creating new opportunities when combining programming with other skills.
