The Guild program is designed to inspire more women to take an introductory computing course and consider majoring or minoring in computer science or related majors. It is a paid 1-week workshop designed for incoming students and underclassmen to help them gain hands-on experience with coding, digital product development, and technology creation through the lens of a “real world challenge”. If you are curious about technology and want to join a supportive community of women who are also exploring tech, try Guild. You will have the chance to work in teams with other students to develop a tech-based solution to a problem that matters in your community.
