Coding While Black is a working session where we focus on collaborating, building tech and helping each other grow.
Virtually join your fellow “Blerds” for networking, tech talk and a code project.
In this session we will have representatives from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) speak to us about who they are, what they do and explain several transit related initiatives they have in progress. They will introduce each of the initiatives, describe the problems they are addressing and the potential impact these initiatives will have on transportation in the Atlanta Metro Area.
During the presentation and discussion we will learn how technology is currently leveraged and how it can be further leveraged to provide solutions. Following the presentation and Q&A, we will engage in design thinking exercises to begin “ideating” or brainstorming on potential technology enabled solutions.
No worries however, If you choose to not participate in the project. We’ll have an area reserved for asking questions and talking tech. So please join us!
Join (enter the waiting room) at 6:20pm and we’ll start promptly at 6:30.
All skill levels are welcome.
