Mission

As someone freelancing as an iOS software engineer to supplement my acting career, I've seen how much flexibility a career in tech can provide when it comes to pursuing other goals. And as a black woman in tech, I've witnessed a chronic lack of diversity amongst my engineering peers and I realize there's a huge segment of the population not being exposed to computer science education and the benefits a career in tech provides. I believe computer science is integral to our society's future, and my goal is to do my part in making sure no group's left behind.

    Dear Lyndsey, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for being chosen as a recipient of the Lyndsey Scott Coding+ Scholarship. It means so much to me to be acknowledged for my efforts in both computer science and my broader ambitions, and I'm truly grateful for your generosity. The support from this scholarship makes a real difference for me. It eases the financial pressures of pursuing my degree and gives me the freedom to dedicate more time to my work with Girls Who Code, teaching coding to children in Zambia and Zimbabwe, and advocating for more diversity in tech. Your belief in blending technology with other passions mirrors my own journey as someone committed to using education, entrepreneurship, and technology to drive social impact and sustainability. Your story as a trailblazer in both software engineering and acting is incredibly inspiring, especially to someone like me who wants to empower underrepresented voices in STEM. I deeply admire your mission to make tech more inclusive and accessible, and I share your vision of ensuring no one is left behind in the world of computer science. Thank you for creating opportunities for students like me to follow our dreams and make a difference. Your kindness motivates me to keep pushing forward, and I hope to pay your gift forward by building platforms that open even more doors for others. Thank you, Eunah Maumbe
