I'm working to build a coding school that makes up for the weaknesses of other coding schools. You can read about what it does better here: https://medium.com/@michelleglauser/this-is-the-coding-schoo...

Basically, it's a nonprofit called Techtonica.org that works with tech companies to provide free tech training, living stipends, and job placement to low-income women and non-binary adults locals. We're in the San Francisco Bay Area for now—did you know there are areas in the Bay Area with income disparity worse than Rwanda's? You can read more about my reasons here: https://blog.techinclusion.co/techtonica-how-to-diversify-te...

We've picked our first full-time students and they are seriously amazing—I can't wait to help them succeed! Just working out the sponsors and space now. See more info at https://techtonica.org.
