About Cherry on Tech
Cherry on Tech is a volunteer-run organization whose mission is to support people of women, non-binary, and trans folks who are new to the tech world. This was a 15-week long cohort program to create a working accessible web design MVP with a team replicating a startup.
Every person was provided a mentor and each team facilitated with questions or issues. There were weekly meetings with the full team, global meetings with the entire Cohort program, and dedicated pair programming sessions with the frontend developer team.
