January 26, 2020 Week-End in Review: Outreachy Applications, AWS Academy and Ying/Yang of our students
In this episode I do a week-end recap for the week of 1/20/2020 with the Hocking College Computer Science program. Topics include:
Outreachy applications will be opening in February. Outreaching provides a great opportunity for paid internship experiences for the big names in tech. The website at https://www.outreachy.org/ states that
Interns work with experienced mentors from open source communities. Outreachy internship projects may include programming, user experience, documentation, illustration, graphical design, data science, project marketing, user advocacy, or community event planning. Interns often find employment after their internship with Outreachy sponsors or in jobs that use the skills they learned during their internship.
We expressly invite women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people to apply. We also expressly invite applications from residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, Native American/American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. Anyone who faces under-representation, systemic bias, or discrimination in the technology industry of their country is invited to apply.
Hocking College's AWS Academy course has a come-back date for 1/31/2020! This is free for all Hocking College students.
Interview with a couple of my web-dev students and their experience as a CodeMash volunteer was done! It was a little nerve wracking for me as it was my first interview experience but it was a lot of fun. It's also interesting hearing the different thoughts and takeaways from the two students. They are definitely opposites in many ways (Ying and Yang) but they both have their own strengths and weaknesses that work well together.
