How the activity relates to coursework or your career goals:
- As an MIS major this technical knowledge will help in my career immensely. Coding is in every aspect of the field I\\\\\\\’m in. As a Business Analyst in technology, I work with developers and engineers who write code in a variety of different languages and use different software to provide solutions and to innovate new ideas. Femmehacks helped expose me to new technologies that I otherwise would have not explored, making me more competitive and knowledgeable. This gives me the ability to bring my knowledge to the table when asked to provide insight or ideas.
