Hello everyone,
I’m proud to announce a new peer mentoring program: WoCCode. Please
forward this information to you departments and other interested
parties. Thank you!
Women of Color (WoC) – which includes Black, indigenous, and Latinx
minorities – are the most underrepresented demographic from high paying
industries, including software engineering. Yet WoC are flush with the
talent, creativity, and social insight to solve complex problems and
lead in the software industry. Using a dedicated Slack space and cohorts
of 4-5 people,this program seeks to unite WoC and other members of
minoritized groups, to battle feelings of isolation and marginalization
that are prevalent in educational institutions and industry settings.
Participants will be placed in cohorts of 4-5 people and encouraged to
meet on a 1-2 week basis. We will also host monthly 1 hour webinars,
featuring peer-lead instructional tutorials and talks by professionals
from academia and the software industry. Our first kick-off webinar will
be in January 2021.
WoCCode is now accepting applications for members of its inaugural 2021
cohort. Follow this link to apply: http://bit.ly/woccode-apply-2020
<http://bit.ly/woccode-apply-2020>
Forms submitted before November 24, 2020will receive full consideration.
Anyone may apply to WoCCode.
WoCCode is an Astropy sponsored IDE (Inclusion, Diversity, and
Empowerment) project, which receives funding support from the Moore
Foundation. Questions about the program can be directed to
