WWC aims at bridging the gender gap in the field of technology . They have started this mentorship series for the same reason , through this program they give women who are unacquanited but passionate about computer science , a chance to get mentored by some insane mentors who have done extremely well in the field of CS.
This year i had the chance to be a part of this mentorship program as a mentee . We were grouped in a team of 3, headed by a mentor. My mentor was Urvi Goel.
Urvi Goel is a pre-final year Computer Science student at IGDTUW. She was a 2020 summer intern at Microsoft IDC and has a returning offer from the same for 2021 summers.
