Internship and Mentoring Opportunity

PAID INTERNSHIPS and MENTORING for students with disabilities pursuing computing!  Grant funded with no cost to students!

With the new school year underway, it's a great time for students to think about their professional development and their career plans.  AccessComputing would like to invite your students who are pursuing computer science or other computing-related majors with disabilities to join our AccessComputing team.  AccessComputing, led by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington and DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) and funded by the National Science Foundation, aims to increase the participation of people with disabilities in computing careers.  

Student team members engage in online MENTORING and are eligible for help with PAID COMPUTING INTERNSHIPS.  To join the team, students must complete and submit an application, available online at: http://www.washington.edu/accesscomputing/team_app.html

For more information or help with the application, students are encouraged to contact Brianna Blaser at blaser@uw.edu
