BLACK FEMALES MOVING FORWARD (BFF) IN COMPUTING 2020
In partnership with the Reboot Representation Tech Coalition, the BFF in Computing program will build community and provide academic support for African American women majoring in computing degree programs.
Academic performance in the intro-series of courses in computer science are key determinants in successful matriculation in the computing majors. These intro-series courses particularly CS1 (Intro to CS/Programming) and CS2 (Data Structures and Algorithms) collectively serve as a gateway to academic success towards completion of a degree and preparation for internships and, ultimately, a career in the tech industry. This program will provide significant support for Black female computing scholars.
**SELECTED PARTICIPANTS ARE ELIGIBLE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR CONTINUED ACADEMIC/PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT AFTER SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE 2020-2021 PROGRAM YEAR REQUIREMENTS & AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE FOR $5,000.00 SCHOLARSHIP FOR 2021-2022 AND 2022-2023 ACADEMIC YEARS.
