Meet Teresa Silva
Cinema lover. Storyteller by trade. Always planning her next adventure.
Teresa is a 31-year-old Communication Manager, Videographer, and Photographer with a deep love for cinema, storytelling, and the arts. With degrees in Audiovisual Communication, Multimedia, and Scriptwriting, she’s spent years crafting narratives. But when Teresa discovered the world of No-Code, a new kind of story began—one where she could bring her ideas to life digitally without needing to learn programming.
“The course gave me new skills and opened new doors—not just professionally, but personally too. I was able to bring my passions to life in ways I never imagined. It was intense, but so worth it.”

What's next for Teresa
Teresa’s journey is proof that creativity and tech don’t live in separate worlds. With her new No-Code skills, she’s planning to keep expanding her creative horizons: launching personal passion projects, growing her digital portfolio, and even exploring new opportunities in creative tech and digital storytelling. Whether it’s building platforms for film festivals or turning her travel experiences into immersive apps, Teresa now has the tools - and the confidence - to make it all happen.
Project Highlight
In the final stage of the Cohorts, students have the opportunity to create a Capstone Project to showcase what they have learned across the journey. They have the liberty to use whichever tool they want or even explore new ones, promoting their critical thinking and proactivity. Always with the support of our Mentors.
In her Capstone Project, Teresa created a concept for a bold dystopian cinema festival:
Dystopia Visions: Question the Future.
“Visitors can explore trailers, pick seats, and even register for masterclasses—all without writing a single line of code.”
Project Features
✅ Custom-built website in Softr
✅ Ticketing flow via Billetto + database in Airtable
