Boston Python user group organizer and Systers Pass-It-On recipient Jessica McKellar teaching beginning Python programmers at the Boston Python Workshop
Twice a year, the Anita Borg Institute issues $500.00 to $1000.00 USD grants to women in technology through its Systers Pass-It-On program.
The awards go to technical outreach programs for women as well as individual women pursuing a career in a technology field. The program is called “Pass-It-On” because it comes with the moral obligation to “pass on” the benefits gained from the award.
In the context of PyCon and the greater Python community, this grant would be a great fit for women who:
- Need financial assistance to attend an upcoming PyCon (including: PyCon US, PyCon Venezuela, PyCon Ukraine, PyCon Ireland, PyCon Finland, PyCon DE, the first ever PyCon Canada, pythonbrasil, and PyCon Argentina ...whew)
- want to do women-focused outreach in the Python community (need encouragement, resources, volunteers? Say hi to the PSF Outreach and Education committee and PyLadies)
The deadline for this Pass-It-On round is Wednesday, September 26th. Apply today and do something awesome for the Python community!
