Careers Week: Running a Blackathon
February 28 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Back in October 2023, a team of Made Tech employees organised a Blackathon to celebrate Black History Month. The idea was to celebrate Black progress by honouring the work of Black inventors, writers and activists that have made a significant impact on society.
The event generated a lot of interesting coding ideas and 4 months later the team is ready to share some insights from the day:
- Why are these activities important for careers in tech
- How the event supported the Black community
- The winning project: The technical skills used
- How can organisations provide benefits that support employees to create these initiatives
- How to continue celebrating Black progress and nurture Coding Black Females career development
Register for this session to join the conversation and share your feedback and ideas for our next Blackathon.
