Picking the Finalists – Engineering the Change S1 EP 1
Techstrong Group teamed up with Boca Code to offer $10,000 coding bootcamp scholarships. But will they graduate? Follow our three winners as they tackle the 10-week intensive bootcamp and prepare for a career in software engineering
Transcript
The engineering that changed scholarship program offers a life-changing opportunity for a winner from an underrepresented Community to change their lives by becoming a full stacked software developer the background that you might see that it's a weakness. It's a strength in this field because everyone is constantly looking for people that are going to bring new ideas. It's an intense 12-week course that is not for the timid for real who's mastering this right now because I sure so you guys are badass like as a class you guys are rushing it.
Got to be dedicated. You've got to be ready to do it. Your life has to be ready for it.
Follow us as we go through this cohorts engineering the change winner on their journey to becoming full staff engineers. Say with great power comes great responsibility. here you Got to take it down to three finalists story.
I'm gonna ask you who really kind of stood out for you. The three people that stood out to me the most was Stephanie and the two another woman named Carly and a man named Donald Rachel. What do you think?
Yeah. I think I agree. Actually, I think those are three great candidates and you know, you know very well what it do what it takes to go through this process.
Look I still love good written and oral skills. I like people who could speak. Well, I like people really could write well and I'm going to tell you something to your point about Stephanie is it's Stephanie Sanchez.
Yes. Stephanie said yes, her essay was one of the best essays I've ever read in the three or four times. We've done this and bring her the gold here the two other people you mentioned to me Carly epitomizes why we do this.
Yeah. she said something like Her brothers could do it why could in shape right? Well, yeah.
Yeah, that's something that stuck with me. Especially as a woman. Yeah, because I think that for her she was like if they can do it and there's not enough women in Tech like she was like I can do it too.
And I love that. I say send Carly to Hollywood Golden Buzzer. Yeah.
Yeah, Donald Brazil. really nice guy what I like about his essay is his his genuine went genuineness. Is that a word being January?
Yeah, right. You got it from him. My only caveat on this is he really doesn't have any Tech experience.
Yeah. So if it's your vote and Mitchell, you don't object I say let's give Donald the last ticket to Hollywood. And those are our three finalists for engineering the change.
Let's bring them in foreign interviews and pick our winner. Okay, sounds good. All right.
