Our Program

Vision

Ada Developers Academy is dedicated to increase the number of underrepresented skilled software developers while redefining and reinventing the way we prepare individuals to be successful in information technology careers. With an intensive, inclusive, and positive learning community, we aim to directly address both the information technology labor shortage in Washington and the lack of diverse experience, thought, and background in the software industry.

Mission

Ada Developers Academy’s mission is to diversify Tech by providing women and people of non-binary gender the skills, experience, and community support to become professional software developers who contribute to changing the world with software.

Our Program

Our highly immersive, tuition-free program combines classroom training and a paid, learning internship to teach our students both how to write code (practical tools and computer science fundamentals) and how to be a software developer (leadership, inclusivity, and career). Our core values are building and contributing to a supportive community; creating and advocating for inclusivity; and teaching and practicing lifelong learning, all within Tech.

Inclusivity

Ada Developers Academy is designed to be an inclusive, positive learning environment for all students, regardless of sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, education, age, race, or religion. All women (cis and trans*) and people with non-binary gender who feel a part of women's community are encouraged to apply.
