    In today's episode I talk about how we can use meet ups to net work and to get to know other people like potential employers at graduation and recruiters. One of the reasons that may require my students to attend meet ups during the first semester is for them to start building those relationships themselves. .

    In this episode I cover motivation as part of #MotivationMonday that I do on our Facebook live at the Hocking College a Computer Science Facebook page. Motivation can come in different forms and in different ways that inspire you and connect with you. In this episode I go over motivation to volunteer a different events and organizations. This was inspired by conferences coming back to being in person and my volunteering at the Women in Analytics conference this week. I also had a couple other inspirations through We Work Remotely‘s career fair and their interview interview with Automattic. Also why you should be motivated to attend a Hocking College starting this fall.

    Week-end review of Hocking College CS news: Interview with Codemash volunteers

    Codemash is an annual conference held in Sandusky, Ohio in January. CodeMash is organized by several volunteers from the professional developer community in the Heartland region who are recognized experts in these different technologies. Ever since I've discovered this conference and volunteering opportunities, I've highly encouraged my students to attend, network and learn cool stuff. Two of my second year Web Dev students volunteered this year and I was fortunate to be able to interview them as they share their experiences and what they've learned. One of the things I found most interesting between these students and hopefully you'll notice as well as their differences and their individual strengths and weaknesses show that all types of personalities and experience levels can come into the field of computer science.

    Week-end review of Hocking College CS News: AWS Academy resumes

    In this episode I focus more on the AWS academy class that we had reason I’m starting today. One of the things that I find especially interesting is it the fact that the only people in the class in the classroom today was myself and three girls so we got a little bit of #GirlPower which is awesome. I also had two favorite moments in the classroom today. One is peer learning at its finest in my opinion. The other is the students realizing that they are learning through the processes even if they don’t quite understand it when it’s happening. Listen to the podcast to learn more.

    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.
