Episode Synopsis

Hello Coders! Welcome back to another episode of Coding Colored Glasses. This month, we sat down with 3 amazing college students to tell us how they've evolved in their tech journeys. I've put together some inspiring episodes about their work and what they explore on a daily basis.  I interviewed Ruth Taddesse, a computer science student at Cornell University, about her journey in tech and sustainability. We discuss the importance of community, overcoming challenges as a minority in STEM, and Ruth's impactful work with Cornell Electric Vehicle.Subscribe for more!Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ruth Taddesse and Her Journey in Tech02:58 The Importance of Community and Mentorship05:15 Role of URMC and Community Building in Tech08:15 Impact of URMC on Members and Career Development11:03 Experiences at Conferences and Networking Opportunities11:32 Involvement in NSBE and Its Differences from URMC13:42 The Role of Community in Overcoming Challenges14:52 Identifying Challenges as a Minority in Tech21:40 Navigating the Difficulties of Computer Science25:21 Finding Passion Beyond Traditional Paths in Tech25:55 Embracing a Growth Mindset27:35 Exploring Electric Vehicles at Cornell30:44 Diversity and Sustainability in Engineering34:29 Data Systems and Team Collaboration42:13 Overcoming Challenges in Team Dynamics49:47 Personal Growth and Resilience in STEM🔗 Connect with "Coding Colored Glasses" on Social Media:Instagram:LinkedIn: Tiktok:Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):http://uppbeat.io/track/mvmt-music/carefree-vibes?rt=uc-referralLicense code: 2QUYQTXDOJZOODMQSincerely by Kevin Macleod used- all rights reserved
