[Bioc-devel] Seeking Outreachy internship project proposals

[Jennifer Wokaty]

Bioconductor is participating in the Outreachy internship program for the December 2023 - March 2024 cohort. Outreachy's goal is to support people from groups underrepresented in the technology industry. Interns will work remotely with mentors from our community.


We are seeking mentors from the Bioconductor community to propose projects that Outreachy interns can work on during their internship. Projects should be open source and can include programming, research, design, event planning, UX, data science, and more. The deadline to submit projects is Sept. 29, 2023 at 4 pm UTC. Visit https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/bioconductor/ to submit a project.


Outreachy will also host a live talk on August 22 at 4PM UTC on their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@outreachyinternships. I also gave a short talk about mentoring with Outreachy and in particular preparing the proposal during Bioc2023's Outreachy Birds of a Feather. If you want help crafting your project proposal, you're welcome to reach out to me via email or the Bioconductor Slack.


Mentors should read the mentor FAQ: https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/mentor-faq<https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/mentor-faq/>


Full details about the Outreachy program and the internship timeline can be found on the Call for Participation page on the Outreachy website: https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/
