Week 5

Past:

Last week, we started the dreadful Swift Playgrounds. Swift is a platform on which we learn coding. It is different than HTML and CSS, but also similar in the sense that it is coding. We also had an amazing speaker, Dr. Tanya Franklin, who is an OB/GYN. She is very inspiring and said something that will stick with me: Time will pass anyway, you might as well do something meaningful.

We also had Akwelle as a guest speaker. She talked about intersections in communities, primarily LGBT+ youth in the black community. It was very eye-opening and not something that I would have thought about.

Present:

Today, we have formulated our ideas for a documentary we will create. My partner ,Torinae, and I will be doing ours on the dearth of women in STEM, primarily Biomedical Engineering.
