Awesome initiative. Having a Computer Engineering background I often hear friends from different areas asking about how to get started into tech. The amount of information out there might be overwhelming so it’s incredibly valuable to have a structured approach. I do believe that in order to solve the complex problems tech companies are facing today we need a diversity of thought that only comes from the intersection between tech and several other fields. Congrats.

Amazing to see some of these stories aggregated by vertical :) most times people forget about how diverse backgrounds influence the nature of the technology we all use everyday.
