Toktam's Story I first got familiar with coding in high school, and I've become more and more interested ever since. I learned C++ in high school; we had to pass an introductory course. And after that course, I self-studied and contributed in some contests on codeforces.com, although I wasn't so much a coder. And I also learned a little of Python and Matlab.

🙋‍♀️ Toktam's Motivation

I am a BSc student in Physics of Elementary Particles, studying at the University of Tehran. I have been interested in coding since I was a teenager and I tried to self-study but I wasn't so successful. I tried to pass courses on coursera.com but since I am currently living in Iran, that website doesn't even approve of me watching their free videos. But I really need to know more C++ and Python for my future in physics. I think nowadays everyone needs to have a programming certificate on their CV. And I know if I want to apply for a Ph.D. position in physics, there are many positions which require having passed a programming course. I need to be a good coder in order to build my future in physics. And even if not so, due to the very unstable situation in the Middle East, if I know coding I can still get a job as a freelance programmer; even if I can't continue studying physics.

🤹‍♀️ Toktam's Hobbies

Reading Watching movies/anime Taking online courses (If they are available in my region) Spending time online Not really much more, due to the pandemic.

The Delac Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The Delac Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
