codeHiveX

codeHiveX is an exclusive, co-led alumni program launched in 2023. Its vision is to bring continued learning, career growth, and an engaged and thriving alumni community stretching long into their careers. codeHiveX consists of alumni at every level from junior software developers to alumni from our first residential cohort in 2019, who worked their way up to mid-level and senior-level positions, some of whom not only advocate for hiring female tech talent in companies they work for but also sit in interview panels.

Expanding Impact To Our Neighbors

We came together, got a few essential items and decided it would be amazing to run a donation drive and create happiness amongst children at Agape Hopes School and Dreams Children Home The experience of bringing these children joy was more than amazing. We cannot describe the joy in the children’s faces when we arrived. There will definitely be more drives like this in the future and we can’t wait <br>
