What if you could take the dances you've always wanted to learn on TikTok..and then somehow magically create interactive tutorials out of them? Automatic step by step visual guidance while you learn TikTok dances you say? Oh there's an app for that. It's called @itsgroovetime 🤯.
1/ I recently joined the board of @ColorStack, and now they’ve launched!
ColorStack’s mission is to increase the entrance, retention and success of Black and Latinx students pursuing technical careers through community building, academic support, and professional development.
3/ I joined ColorStack’s board because I was lucky enough to have support getting into and staying in CS. And thousands of students need that same support.
4/ The community is opening on June 1st. Students, push yourself onto the stack here: airtable.com/shrQO7QydI2WLxm…. Professionals, email [email protected] if you’re interested in learning about how you can support the organization.
