Girls in CS student panel

notes

SD is a big tech city. STEM is a big opportunity worth pursuing
A lot of times it’s not the final result that gets you the grade but the process. if you can explain what you’re doing then that’s got you the good points. an example of this is our live reveiws
you need good articulation and related stuff to work with. clear communication is everything. if you can properly articulate and be clear and conscise with your points that will properly show your capebilities and potential to anyone reveiwing
you need documentation of your methodology. AGILE methodology and team strucrtures like SCRUM are extremely valuble. You need to document your processes and stuff because although the result is very valuble you need to document the process to propely communicate the idea which is the most important part of the process.
knowledge of how to propely use git for team coordination can proove invaluble. an employer will most likely admire this as it’s a valuble skill

you need to have your projects documented
making websites can be good background stuff to have under your belt
