Everyone in the Rewriting the Code community has been impacted in one way or another by the pandemic. On-campus classes and activities have been halted, leaving students with extra time on their hands. Many internships have been canceled, creating uncertainty for thousands of students regarding what they’ll be doing this upcoming summer.

Despite the unfortunate circumstances, this is an opportunity to realize visions, meet and collaborate with others in the community, and learn new skills through technical projects. For women whose internships have been cancelled, RTC plans to engage our company partners to help our passionate and skilled women, many of whom have already demonstrated interest in using their newly-found time productively, to make the most of their time.

• Provide students the opportunity to participate in a meaningful summer project with peers and mentors in the absence of a traditional internship where they will develop code, project solutions, and work artifacts for use during the 2020 fall recruiting season.
• Help students ideate projects and create solutions they’re passionate about.
• Create opportunities for students to develop and learn team, technical, and business skills through hands-on experience and collaboration.
• Further develop and strengthen relationships within the RTC community.
• Expose students to RTC company partner engineers and recruiters.

• Be sure to join the Rewrite Your Summer Slack Workspace. If you're a student, request access to the students-only channel. If you're a mentor, request access to the mentors-only channel. You should also add yourself to the project and team channel that's relevant for you.
