EqOpTech Summer Speaker/Workshop Series

EqOpTech collaborates with MVLA Scholars to launch a series of Speaker/Workshop for students interested in the tech fields.

"The goal of the speaker series is to expose high potential, low income students to explore and pursue interests in the technology field," said Terence Lee, Founder and CEO of EqOpTech. "Likewise, the workshop series are hands-on computer workshops aimed to simulate a real-world challenge so that students can learn how to troubleshoot and think on their feet to problem-solve."

Following the workshop, participants may apply to volunteer and intern at EqOpTech's program to gain valuable work experience. This will prepare students for future internship and career opportunities.

The target audience are scholars, low income students receiving scholarships in Mountain View Los Altos and other Bay Area neighborhood as well as students interested in the tech field. Joining the scholars are EqOpTech's volunteer/intern team who are interested in learning, teaching and mentoring in the computer science/engineering arena.

Upcoming events are posted on our website here, including topics on networking, cyber security, user interface development, machine learning, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship and CAD engineering + hands-on computer workshop on Linux and CAD.
