E3AB573B-6B1C-4551-9E73-FF2141853A03

Hello,

My name is Lucy Zises and I am a junior at Walter Payton College Prep. I am emailing you regarding a conference I am currently planning alongside two of my classmates. The event, Code.Chi, is aimed at female-identifying high schoolers interested in technology. This will be our third year putting on the conference, and I’m really excited!

Code.Chi is is a conference for high school girls interested in tech and CS careers. This year the conference will feature a key speaker, a panel of college students studying tech/CS, and various workshops. You can find more information at our website, codechiconference.com.

The event is at Walter Payton College Prep on February 22, 2020 from 12:30-3:30pm.

We are trying to reach as many highschoolers as possible, so we would really appreciate it if you could forward this information onto your students that might be interested in attending. I will also send a flyer regarding the event very soon.

To register for the event, please have your students use the form under the ‘Register’ tab on our website.

If you or your students have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you very much!
Lucy Zises

Jones Jam!

Check it out! A new opportunity: Jones Jam, a CPS-wide game jam. Unlike CodeDay, this event is only one day long, and is happening on Friday, Jan 31st (school improvement day).

The yearly CPS game jam is back! On January 31st, join other CPS students in a day of pixel art, Bob Ross painting, and coding. After gaining vital skills in a series of fun workshops, you’ll spend the rest of the event working on projects in teams of coders, designers, and musicians.

Sound fun? Sign up now at jonesjam.org.

We set a record in the number of Lane students at CodeDay, and we’re aiming for a similar result with this event!

Are you interested in CodeDay/Jones Jam leadership roles? A large portion of the team is graduating this year, and so they’re starting to look for students to fill those positions. This is a great leadership opportunity for anyone passionate about spreading the joy of CS to others. If interested, contact Anton at aaoutkine.
