Hi @channel, and happy International Women’s Day!!
This holiday has been celebrated for over 100 years, and is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
2019's theme is Balance for Better. To acknowledge IWD, we want to hear from YOU all- celebrate with us by shouting out a scholar in this community who is modeling what creating a more balanced, equitable tech workforce can look like!
Post your shout-out in #women_who_code here in Slack, or on LinkedIn, Twitter, or other social media with the tags #IWD2019 #poweredbybertelsmann #BalanceforBetter

Technically the BAND P9 deadline passed in January, but since there was an extension, let’s consider the amended deadline to also be Thursday, March 14, along with P8 in DAND!
Remember, all projects must be submitted and passed by the final deadline of April 4, which is why the project deadlines are a couple weeks before that. If you submit your project at the last minute, and it does not pass, you will not be eligible to graduate, so make sure you’re leaving at least a few days between your last project submission and April 4!!!
To help you get there, we’ll be holding a…
All good things must come to an end- Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Star Wars (oh wait…) and the same is true of this scholarship!
Study Jams early on were pretty quiet, but let’s finish with a bang!!
The final Study Jam will be next Saturday, March 16, from 8am-8pm UTC!
When I asked what topics you all wanted to see covered, it really spanned the full coursework of BAND and DAND, but with a focus on the latter half of both programs, so that’s where I need your help!
Students who have graduated or are ahead in your coursework: sign up HERE to lead a technical help session in Slack, or (even better) in a webinar!
Let’s make this a Study Jam to remember- mark your calendars and get ready to plow through your coursework and make it to that April 4 finish line. LET’S DO THIS!
Hi @channel, and happy Tuesday! I hope you all had stellar weekends!
Reminder that this Thursday, March 14, is the last project deadline in DAND and BAND before the final, final course deadline on April 4!!
To help you get there, we’ll be holding a…
The final Study Jam will be THIS SATURDAY, March 16, from 8am-8pm UTC!
No matter if you have 5 minutes or 5 hours set aside this weekend to work on your Nanodegrees, here’s what you can do this weekend to participate:
Are you ahead in your coursework? Have an extra hour or two on your hands this weekend, please sign up to lead a technical help session in Slack! Even if you only have 30 minutes to spare, this could be a HUGE help to your peers!
Not ahead in your coursework but still want to participate? Put a number emoji (1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣, etc.) next to your name so your peers can see which project you’re working on, and so you can find other people working on the same project as you! Hold each other accountable- we only have a couple more weeks left before the final deadline so make the most of your time in this community!
Let’s make this a Study Jam to remember- mark your calendars and get ready to plow through your coursework and make it to that April 4 finish line. LET’S GO!
If you’re looking for an accountability buddy, please fill out the study buddy form to get paired up with somebody!
I’ll do my best to match people based on timezone, availability, and progress in your Nanodegrees!
