Hello, everyone! Erin Massey from Career Services just sent me the
following message a contact at Google about programs they are
operating. Please see below!
Cheers,
Zach
Hello from Google!
I hope the winter break was as much of a break as possible. We're
writing to let you know about igniteCS and Applied CS with Android, two
Google programs that might be of interest to you and your students:
*_igniteCS_*
igniteCS provides funding and resources for groups of college and
university students to make a difference in their local communities
through Computer Science mentorship. Students design a mentorship
program that best serves their local community, and Google provides
resources, support and funding of up to $10,000 to help make it happen.
igniteCS is designed to provide opportunities for undergraduate students
to apply CS knowledge outside the classroom, and to foster an inclusive
and welcoming CS environment for everyone.
Applications will be accepted January 17th through February 19th. Check
out our website <http://goo.gl/XZX4EM>for further details and join our
G+ community
<https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/104343670022027542965?e=-RedirectToSandbox>for
more information as well! We hope you will encourage your students to
apply and consider serving as their faculty advisor. The igniteCS team
is here to help, so please reach out <mailto:ignitecs at google.com>if you
have any questions!
*_Applied CS_*
Google is also looking for students who are passionate about CS
enrichment, outreach and education to bring Applied CS with Android
<https://cswithandroid.withgoogle.com/>to campus as a student
facilitator. Facilitators act as the primary lead for the Applied CS
with Android program at their university, partnering with faculty and
students on planning and hosting the program workshops and code sprint.
Eligible student facilitators should have completed a university-level
data structures and algorithms course and ideally feel comfortable
programming in Java.
Student facilitators will gain exposure to the knowledge and skills
relevant to industry-level software engineering careers. It’s a
leadership and development opportunity that connects students to
Googlers as well as a group of like-minded, passionate CS students
globally. Selected facilitators will also get the chance to attend an
in-person training bootcamp at Google in late February 2017 to learn
more about the program, practice facilitation, and network with each
other and Googlers in attendance. If you have students who you think
would be interested in this program, please spread the word! Interested
students can fill out our interest form
<https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGyMT5MD84XmPR5pAOqfNXRBnHXgeIYuvhyn5hOUz0sU9R-A/viewform>
and we’ll send along the application.
Whew! Thanks for your patience with this lengthy note. Let us know if
you have any questions. Happiest of new years to you and yours.
Brendan
