You might ask, what is Tech? Tech is a short form for technology and technology means the "scientific knowledge of the practical aims of human life and manipulation of the human environment".

I know you might be thinking if it's possible to start a career in tech as a newbie without prior knowledge. Your thoughts might be

• I'm not an expert in operating computers.

• I don't have a Computer Science degree.

• Tech is for geniuses.

• I need to save a lot of money to be able to have started my career in tech etc.

What if I told you that all these are not necessary

• You do not need to be an expert in operating computers, with little knowledge of how to operate computers you're good to go.

• You do not need a Computer Science degree.

• Tech is not only for geniuses. Once you are committed to learning and with the right tools, you can excel.

• You do not need to save a lot of money to be able to kickstart your career in tech. Ada Software Engineering Program has made it cheap and affordable, once you have access to a laptop and browsing network.
