PE Update and we're starting a new session!
Wow. It's been a full 2 years since we officially started teaching at PE?!
Hey you! 💖 It’s Ivy from PE
It’s March 2023!
Our first group of students started in March of 2021. That means we’ve been running this wild experiment for a whole 2 years! AND we’ve had so much fun. And we’ve learned so much (which we plan on formally documenting - but no time for that now!).
Should we have a party?
Our new space
We actually could have a party! We’ve recently move our office from shared building in Atwater Village to a store-front in South Pasadena.
We’re still getting things setup, but it’s pretty fun. Now we’ll be able to have meetups and entertain clients for the student projects and all sorts of stuff.
March 2023 cohort needs more women!
A solid group has formed for this next session, but we really do need some more women! We’ve been lucky to have such diversity in all of our sessions, but this time - it’s light on the ladies!
HEY LADIES! 😉
I wrote some posts on Reddit about women in tech and how much we need to represent, but as usual a bunch of people told me I was sexist and that women aren’t in developer roles because they just don’t want to be and blah blah blah. OK. Well, anyway. Whether or not women want to be involved in design decisions or not, we think they should be! I heard that 50% of the people are women so, it seems to me that 50% of the designers out there making decisions on how things work - should also be women. We need you! So, if you’re thinking about taking the plunge - or know someone who is interested in the field, send them my way ASAP! email / calendar
Quick video update
Catch ya later.
