Black History Month Celebratory Event in Computer Science
The CS EDI Committee together with our dedicated students, the ESE Team, Black Sport Collective, with sponsorship from Google, will host an in-person Black History Month event with the theme of ‘Reclaiming Narratives’ on Wednesday afternoon, 16th October from 3:00pm to 5:00pm in the School of Computer Science, A07.
We will showcase vital work inspiring personalities in STEM have done or currently do in the CS Atrium, and inspire the next generation of young people to follow in their path.
We aim to bring people from black communities together to join our conversation. We aim to recognise the challenges, reclaim narratives, celebrate successes, and discuss career progression. We will host a panel and roundtable discussions followed by networking, food and drink.
Our speakers include:
• Ayaan Mohamed, founder of Digitech Oasis, a Google backed AI company that has received the King’s Award for Enterprise this year along with other awards, and,
• Seun Runsewe, a cloud expert working on tech infrastructure for women’s health devices like breastfeeding pumps, both female African founders.
