What we're about
This group is organized by the non-profit We Build Black (https://webuildblack.com) for Black software engineers to come together and mix ideas, work on code, get help on projects, and discuss the industry.
Anyone is welcome but the aim and hope of this group is to facilitate the growth of black software developers. Whether it be collaborating on a startup idea or helping a member to clarify their understanding of a library.

I know a lot of you have been wondering when we're going to be getting back to the Saturday meetups. The truth is we weren't setup for COVID regulations and didn't want to create an environment that might be comfortable for anyone. That being said, we're bringing the meetup online next Saturday for everyone to enjoy!
We'll be using a tool called Gatheround that is basically like Zoom but with fun games to keep the networking going. I'd like us to use this as a place to create distant connections, get help on projects, and even just chop it up on a video call as you code through the day. If you'd like to join us next Saturday (August 7) from 1-6 PM EST join us using the link above.
VIDEO CALL ROOM CAPACITY IS 40 PEOPLE SO JOIN THE CALL AS SOON AS IT OPENS!
We Build Black (www.webuildblack.com) is here to create safe spaces for Black engineers to learn, network, and build with like-minded individuals.

Join us for a night of coding, Netflix binge-watching, and PlayStation 4 gaming at the BrainStation bootcamp office on March 30, 2023, from 6-8:30 PM EST! Whether you're a software engineering pro or a beginner just getting started, you'll love our coding area where you can work on your latest projects, get help from fellow engineers, and collaborate on exciting new ideas.
When you're ready to take a break from coding, head over to our Netflix viewing area and relax with the homies while you catch up on your favorite shows. We love anime on this side! And if you're feeling competitive, come turn up with us in the gaming area.
With plenty of opportunities to connect, learn, and have fun, this is an event you won't want to miss. So mark your calendars and get ready for a night of coding, entertainment, and community building with the Black Software Engineers of NYC!
