Hi Apache Training, I am working with the administration at a local community college students to learn things coding/computing. Computer Science is an 'impacted' major, meaning not all students are not even able to gain access to those classes, so there is motivation to figure out how to expand those capabilities (and I am specifically in discussion for ways to train immigrant and ESL students).
This has me exploring both what is available and what would be good to create. Outside of the technical skills, I am imagining teaching them about (and encourage living by) the Apache Way. It seems such awareness would be beneficial to people as they are learning (and anyone more generally); In addition this might serve as a pipeline for the future for people that would contribute positively to Apache. Furthermore, elsewhere I've seen desires to continue to increase diversity around the foundation, this specific use-case and population would then potentially also further those goals. This is a super open question, and I see this group is just beginning. Looking forward to finding the positive ways to contribute. Cheers, Austin
