Black Engineer Week

Increasing the number of Black engineers in Silicon Valley is extremely important. Silicon Valley is home to the wealthiest companies and a number of the best engineering schools in the world. We are interested in connecting Black engineers in Silicon Valley to one another, connecting Black students to engineering professionals in Silicon Valley, and providing pathways for Black people all over the nation to become engineers in Silicon Valley. Towards that end, we will have a multi-day event to encourage the objectives above. It will be a mix of in-person and virtual events. The in-person events will allow professionals interested in the development of Black engineers to meet, while the virtual events will provide an avenue for people all over the world to understand how they can transition into engineering in Silicon Valley. There is no better time to do this than June 19th so we are celebrating Juneteenth by sharing the best pathways to Engineering in the Bay Area.
