*BIG NEWS* I can finally announce that we were awarded a $180,000 PIT-UN Challenge grant for our new project focused on building important career pipelines into public interest technology for CUNY students through impactful apprenticeships with BetaNYC and co-curricular tech skill development and activities for all students regardless of major - with a special focus on the humanities and social sciences. This work will culminate with a NYC PIT POP UP shop so feel free to reach out to me if you want to know more about this event and this project.
