Inspiration

Being a minority, female, and first-generation college student in a field women aren't well represented, I had to find my way around different communities where I feel Computer Science and Tech is the right field.

What it does

Building togetHER is an app that aims to connect and empower women and members from underrepresented communities in tech through mentorship programs, student/professional led events, community discussions and just being there for each other. It's a "Queendom" where everyone can freely express, question, and discuss their tech/educational related issues or concerns as we are an open and supportive community.

How I built it

I used a prototyping software called Figma to build my project.

Challenges I ran into

I had run into a whole lot of challenges while building this project because it was my very first time using Figma. So part of the process was learning a new tool and figuring out how it actually works in order to design an ios app.

🤓# Accomplishments that I'm proud of I am extremely proud of how well I was able to generate my ideas and draw them clearly to guide me. I am happy about how my design turned out.

What I learned

The greatest thing that I learned is that I am capable of doing anything that I put my mindset. I started hacking the very last minute and was able to finish it on time. Additionally, I was able to play and learn new thing that is prototyping.

What's next for Building togetHER

I am hoping to actually use Swift in Xcode to bring it into real life and deploy it in the app store. I am a firm believer it is a great way to build a supportive and collaborative space for underrepresented groups and women in the tech field.
