Just wrapped up my first #hackathon / Hackpod 🫡 Grateful for the opportunity to work with the amazing team at @programequity , as well as the talented engineers from GitHub and AWS, who provided invaluable guidance and clarity every step of the way!
Great learning from @RubyDotGif about APIs. As a fellow of the village, #ProgramEquity, these are the things I learned as a #PostmanStudent about APIs.
The most important aspect to remember is that APIs are everywhere.
🧵
I, along with my podmate @yaya_622, was chosen for a @GitHub project under @ProgramEquity. I contributed to Amplify, an open-source platform to simplify getting support for advocacy groups for their missions by getting the word out.
#ProgramEquity is critical for #rural communities that struggle to access federal resources. @SecVilsack noted multiple times how matching req’s make programs less accessible to the most vulnerable. USDA set aside $350M of broadband ReConnect funds for no-match grants to tribes.
