Float - Yale Women in Computer Science

To that end, Yale WGiCS hosted a series of HTML and web development workshops on campus (all student-taught) in its first few years, which were very successful. Many Yalies wrote their first computer program through WGiCS' events. In the time since then, Yale WGiCS has shifted its focus towards broader goals of encouraging students to explore compu... ter science courses, retaining students in the major, and building community. We host study and support groups, teach free workshops, bring speakers to campus, organize lunches with professors, sponsor trips to conferences, coordinate dinners with women in the industry, liaise with the computer science department and alumni, and more. Most importantly, we enable students to build relationships with each other-and what naturally follows is a more welcoming, supportive and inclusive environment for students to succeed. Yale WGiCS celebrates all underrepresented gender minorities, including trans, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary individuals. FAQsRead More
