As we look back on our impactful partnership with Medidata Solutions, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible support they have provided to All Star Code and our Scholars. Since the beginning of our collaboration in 2018, Medidata has been more than just a sponsor—they have been true partners in our mission to open doors for young men from underrepresented communities and empower them with the skills and opportunities to thrive in the tech industry. Through their ongoing support, including sponsoring our 2024 Summer Intensive, Medidata has played a crucial role in helping us achieve over 2,000+ Scholars in our alumni network, equipping them with vital computer science skills and fostering an entrepreneurial spirit. Beyond financial contributions, Medidata Solutions has been instrumental in creating real-world opportunities for our Scholars, from mentorships to internships, helping bridge the gap between education and industry. One of the highlights of our partnership was the recent Technical Entrepreneurship Incubator Showcase, where Medidata’s judges and mentors witnessed the remarkable innovations our Scholars developed. Projects like TransLingo, which won top honors, are a testament to the talent and potential nurtured through this collaboration. We extend our deepest appreciation to Medidata for their unwavering commitment to fostering diversity in tech and for being a steadfast partner in our journey to create economic opportunity for the next generation of tech leaders. We look forward to continuing this powerful partnership and achieving even greater impact together. #AllStarCode #MedidataSolutions #DiversityInTech #Innovation

We are proud to recognize the invaluable support of JPMorganChase during this year’s Summer Intensive program. Over the course of three weeks, our students worked tirelessly to develop their Capstone Projects, and thanks to the generosity of JPMorganChase, a select group had the unique opportunity to present their projects in person at the company's offices in Jersey City, Dallas, and Houston. These presentations were more than just a showcase of technical skills; they were a testament to the growth and potential of our Scholars, who have taken significant strides forward in their tech journeys. As tech Trailblazers, they were the first to complete our new three-week Summer Intensive sprint program model, paving the way for future cohorts. We are especially grateful for JPMorganChase’s active involvement by providing employees for our volunteer program. Their support extended beyond hosting our Scholars, as they also provided guest speakers for our panel sessions, offering invaluable insights and showing our Scholars what is possible with the skills they are learning in our program. We extend our deepest gratitude to the JPMorganChase team for making this experience possible and for their ongoing commitment to nurturing the next generation of tech leaders. Your support has been instrumental in empowering our Scholars to pursue their dreams in the tech industry. #AllStarCodeSummerIntensive #NonprofitImpact

Gracias Joliz Cedeño for the invitation to join this amazing panel on authenticity in the tech workplace with Techqueria New York City & Etsy. Shout out to my fellow panelists Nicolle Velez, CAMS, and Juan Felipe Cardona for an engaging conversation. It was an inspiring event, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my journey. To tap into our authenticity, I shared three quick takeaways: Carry your individual values: 🧭 Identify the principles you hold true for decision-making in your career, relationships, and self-care. Knowing these helps guide you in every aspect of life. Plot your lifeline: 📈 In the hustle from one deadline to the next, remember that you can overcome challenges. Reflect on moments of resilience and joy in your life to see your strength. Declare you: 📝 Combining your values and lifeline moments helps define what’s truly important to you. Write a 7-minute personal or leadership credo and share it with the world. Special thanks to Nicole Cuellar-Lopez, Adam Keene, Lindsay Steadman, and others who made the event memorable, and to everyone who joined us on the rooftop for a night of great conversations and stunning views. Thanks to Josh Silverman, CEO at Etsy, for his opening remarks and support of diverse communities in tech. Let’s continue to bring our authentic selves to work and support each other in our journeys. #Authenticity #TechCommunity #Comunidad #Latine #CareerGrowth #Etsy #Techqueria #AllStarCode

Last week, our Executive Director Danny Rojas had the honor of participating in an insightful panel discussion hosted by Etsy and Techqueria at Etsy Headquarters in NYC.

Panelists included: - Alexis De Jesus (Moderator) - Nicolle Velez, CAMS (Etsy) - Juan Felipe Cardona (Etsy) The discussion covered key topics such as the value of authenticity in professional settings, the role of cultural experiences in shaping workplace dynamics, and the impact of authenticity on company performance and innovation.

We are incredibly proud to cap off Cycle 1 of the three-week sprint of our Summer Intensive program with a special shoutout to all our students who presented their Capstone Projects today. A select few had the opportunity to present in person at the JPMorgan Chase offices in Jersey City, Dallas, and Houston, showcasing their growth and potential in the tech industry. Congratulations to all the students who have become Scholars and taken a significant step forward in their tech journeys. The day started with a warm welcome and breakfast, followed by insightful welcome remarks from senior JPMC staff. Students then engaged in post-SI assessments, presentation prep, and the highly anticipated Capstone Project Presentations. The afternoon featured a panel discussion with SEP experts, a meet and greet with CareerWise students, and concluded with a delightful ice cream social. A heartfelt thank you to the parents for their unwavering support and for trusting us with their sons this summer and to our Executive Director Danny Rojas for participating in this milestone in our Scholars’ journeys. Additionally, we extend our deepest gratitude to the JPMorganChase Tech for Social Good team, including Ann M. Savage, CSM, CPM and Naomi Williams of the Jersey City office, who helped make this event memorable and impactful. Donor support is crucial in continuing to empower these young minds.
