GDI rejects the stereotypes that women and non-binary individuals aren’t interested in technology and that people can’t learn tech as adults. GDI chooses to focus on affordable education services for adults who might otherwise be unable to access tech classes, letting them know it’s never too late for them to learn. We are raising $7,200 before May to provide 10 more scholarships in 2023. Please make a donation today and support our scholarships.

In this beginner-friendly, six-class series, you will learn programming fundamentals and foundational JavaScript topics:

  • Variables, basic data types (Strings, Numbers, Booleans, Arrays), and operators

  • Writing functions
  • Working with built-in JavaScript string and array methods
