Program Timeline

Onboarding:

During the first days our coordinators provided training, contextualization and first master classes with Professionals from Amherst College, UMass and private consultancy firms.

University of Columbia:

We had a Master Class at The Institute for Latin American studies. About the Root causes of immigration and qualitative data.

Fellowship kickstarting:

During the Boston Tech Jam, exchanged expectations and planned an agenda of activities. Explored a few organizations and I found an old contact, David Delmar from Resilient Coders. On the next day I interviewed Prf. Jean-Luc Pierite MLK visiting scholar for MIT DUSP Department of Urban Studies and Planning. We exchanged views on economy development for the territories of native communities.

Interviews and meetings:

 The most valuable asset were the conversations with members of different organizations in Massachusetts. Running a total of 16 interviews from different people around the Tech Foundry and shared organizations.

Consolidation:

Data sources, research papers, statistics, one page project resumes, pitch proposals, material in advance for interviews, slide decks and presentations.

All the material consulted, generated and distributed is contained under this blog.

For the final week of the internship, we will be traveling to Washington D.C. for the PFP Congress, final presentations, and visits to the State Deparment.
