Before I joined the Mozilla Club of Hackathon Girls, I had Bs and Cs in my computer lessons. My experience with the club helped me discover that ICT is fun and interesting, and I began getting As in my computer lessons at school.

I started at the club with no knowledge of computing. With the help of the club, I became web literate and learned how to use the internet to research information in a responsible way.
