[Acm-announce] Looking for Women Instructors for Girls Who Code

[Emily Austin]

Now that universities are back in session, is there anyone out there who
knows of a female or two who would be interested in volunteering 2-3 hours
a week as an instructor for a Girls Who Code club located on Chicago's
southside (2 miles south of Midway)?

The club plans to meet Saturday mornings (9-11) but we can adjust our times
to meet the availability of the volunteer. Unfortunately, there is no
funding available, but there is lots of good karma available! If funds do
appear, I will gladly pay for her time. (This would be a good fit for a
university that provides community support via their work study program;
especially for CS and related majors).

The ideal person will not only be passionate about computer science, but
will also enjoy working with teenage girls. Qualifications include
proficiency in a back-end programming language and intermediate skills in
data structures and algorithms. This could be a student (undergraduate or
grad), teacher, or industry professional. Training, support for classroom
management and administrative duties, and curriculum will be provided.

Sounds like anyone you know? Is it YOU? If so, contact me via email or
phone. (Feel free to share this request widely.)
