Inspired by our own experience, we are a student group at the University of Washington who are passionate about bridging the opportunity gaps currently present in the public education system. We accomplish this goal by creating and leading workshops, camps, panels, and other forms of community outreach that allow our university members to share their experiences with colleges and industries, as well as their technical expertise. Open to all students, we center the experience of younger, underrepresented minority students.
