I can't express how awesome this really is. Bringing diversity to the tech world is a tough and touchy topic these days. Being a black engineer at a leading company in the Bay, see this issue first hand. This aligns well with the tech initiative the Obama just proposed. Also, seeing how Telegraph academy is partnered with Hack Reactor, the leading coding school around, I know the outcomes will be good! I should know, I was an instructor at Hack Reactor. This is going to be awesome!
It's great seeing programs like this which encourage communities of color to partake in the growing amount of tech opportunities in the bay area and other tech hubs. As someone who identifies and feels very passionately about this issue, I’d love to learn more about how I can contribute and help!
It's about time someone did something like this =)
