Iowa Girls Code - Mentors Needed!

8/31/2016

0 Comments

Become a mentor for Iowa Girls Code! Iowa Girls Code is a program dedicated to teaching high school girls in Iowa how to (you guessed it) code!

Teams of 5-10 girls are paired with a mentor (that could be you!), and over the course of a few months they'll learn to develop an app or website together.


                                    Program Outline

Fall Kick-Off
September 24th, 10am-4pm, Cedar Rapids or Ames
  • Attendees form teams, each of which is assigned a mentor.
  • Together, you'll brainstorm ideas for an app or website to build over the course of a few months.
  • Iowa Girls Code will be bringing in technical workshops, too! You'll play a huge role in their first coding experience. 
Interested in giving a workshop at Iowa Girls Code?
  • We have both Ames and Cedar Rapids area locations to make the Iowa Girls Code Fall Kickoff convenient to attend!

Mentor Meetups
Kick-Off through Spring Summit, Bi-Monthly
  • Teams meet with their mentor twice a month to work on their project. 
  • The mentor-team relationship is meant to be casual and accommodate everyone's schedule, so there are no hard dates, locations, or deliverables for these meetings.
 
Spring Summit
March 2017 (date TBD), Iowa State
  • All teams meet at Iowa State for a half day of finishing up their projects.
  • Groups will present what they've made in front of a judging panel.
  • ~Prizes~ will be awarded for the most technically impressive projects!

SWE-ECI Trivia Buffs Revealed!

8/25/2016

0 Comments

 
On Wednesday, August 24th, SWE-ECI held our annual kick off event for the fiscal year, Welcome to the Corridor!  This year we decided to do it trivia style!  Five teams competed against each other to answer Iowa themed questions in five categories.  Everyone knew that Ashton Kutcher interned at the General Mills plant and most knew that Iowa has 99 counties (not 17!).  Team 3 ran away with it by naming 4 out of 5 of the name that tune correctly (a category that contained Slipknot's "Left Behind" from their Iowa album and Music Man's "76 Trombones" - they even knew the composer was Meredith Wilson!).  Thanks to everyone who came out and had a little fun with us.  We hope you met some new people and maybe learned something!
