🚨 Google & Apple 2025 SWE internships are live! 🚨 But…it’s day 2 of our summer internship program. Should interns apply ASAP to gain a competitive edge (early apps are rolling)? Or wait until they have more substantial impact from this year’s internship to showcase? 🤔

So inspired by the Hackathon for Accessibility, a vision made reality by Shireen Hafeez of @deafkidscode @WeCodeDreams held at @google! Loved meeting Deaf/HOH students @ChiPubSchools, @ChicagoParks D/HOH prog. Today’s participants are brainstorming tomorrow’s access.
Deaf and hard of hearing students participate in the hackathon and are seated around a round table. Jose, their instructor, Jill Stark, Shireen Hafeez, Rachel Arfa and Sarah Faber of Parks join the students in smiling for the camera.
