About Justin Wride

I\'ve always had a passion for technology. After building my first website at age 11, I decided to follow my passion and develop my technical skills. I was able to improve people\'s lives by applying the skills I acquired through study and practice, and I felt a huge sense of accomplishment. Making others\' lives better is what I strive to do.As a freshman in college, I had gained enough knowledge and experience to work with a team to build and sell a website to an insulation company in Minnesota. This was one of my first experiences doing business with a company, and I enjoyed seeing the value we were able to provide. However, I wanted to do more and have a bigger impact than selling websites.Through the Information Systems program in college, I was introduced to many exciting opportunities. I was uncertain as to which career path I should pursue or which companies I should interview with. After meeting with the founder of Skill Struck, I was inspired by the mission and excited by the potential to empower the upcoming generation of coders with skills for success. I immediately felt that Skill Struck\'s mission to help kids and teenagers develop worthwhile skills that will impact their education, jobs, and future aligned with my values and goals to improve lives with technology.I\'m optimistic that the future generation will accomplish amazing things, and Skill Struck aims to help kids and teens develop the skills they need to make a difference. If you know someone who wants to develop creative, analytical, and technical skills, give them the opportunity and join us as we develop people, then code.#SkillStruck #coding #codingforkids #education
