Dolapo “Didi” Akinola

Congratulations are in order for P-TECH scholar, Dolapo “Didi” Akinola, the second recipient of the Scholarship Grant from Skillpointe Foundation and Schneider Electric! 

Akinola received a text message yesterday, 11/3/22 that she considered “spam” until she saw the word, “scholarship” and she clicked the link to find out the good news. 

Presently a senior at P-TECH who is slated to graduate in June 2023, Akinola began taking college courses in her sophomore year and is steadily maintaining a 3.2 GPA while pursuing an Associate in Computer Information Systems (CST) at City Tech while simultaneously completing a high school Physics class.  During the summer of 2022, Akinola was a Student Ambassador for the P-TECH Summer Bridge Program where she worked closely with Mr. Campbell, a Geometry teacher.  According to Akinola, she enjoyed tutoring the incoming freshman, “being able to see a student who hates math start to change his/her mind boosted my ego!” Akinola plans to pursue her Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at a private college in NYC.  In traditional Nigerian culture, “Ashe” 

 Read a snippet of her response below: 

 “…during my junior year I applied and was offered a 3-week Boot Camp internship at “America on Tech,” a nonprofit organization located in Manhattan.  In those three weeks, I learned website designing on Replit; it was so satisfying seeing what a few lines of “ code” could translate into – I was coding!  After completing the Boot Camp, I applied and completed their yearlong “Tech Flex” Leaders Program.  The program was an amazing experience in which I learned Javascript, HTML, and CSS.  Because of this knowledge, to date, I have built several websites and won many competitions that propelled me to certify my career in technology.  The latter made me realize that I actually do have a passion for technology, specifically software development.  I could someday work for a company as big or bigger than TikTok!”
