Spring 2020: Spread the impact
Spring 2020: Spread the impact
Granted that this hectic quarter was online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we aimed to focus our efforts on illustrating the progress of our Impact++ development projects to our community. In doing so, we worked with our Project Managers and their teams to create detailed videos that highlight their projects’ missions, current progress, and most importantly their impacts. Each video can be found in the respective web pages for each project. We hope that these videos aid members within the University of Washington and beyond in learning more about our club’s commitments towards the intersectionality between tech and social good.
Winter 2020: Teach 4 impact
Winter 2020: Teach 4 impact
Targeted towards recruiting UW students to visit high-schools, this workshop series served as a way to promote the use of computer science in social good within high school classrooms across the local Seattle Area.
Through the four-part series, UW students learned about computer science in social good and how they can promote diversity through education and outreach. The workshop series featured discussions led by distinguished educators at the University of Washington, representatives from notable organizations in this field, and even students who have championed computer science for social good. These meetings were held to prepare students to lead future classroom discussions about how computer science can be applied to positively impact our communities with topics ranging vastly from finding solutions to homelessness, climate change, education, and more.
UPDATE: While we hoped to travel to high school classrooms at the start of spring quarter and create an impact in our communities, the COVID-19 outbreak has led us to cancel these field trips.
