Question 2- How did the Miss Africa sponsored AboCoders training enhance your perceptions of the involvement of women in technology

Question 3: Give us a professional instance during your training that remains a landmark in your career profession

Maryam: Technology is a key aspect of education that is very crucial to every individual. I hope that in the future, our own generation, more women will be enlightened, well skilled and professionals in technology.
