Hi Allen School Fam!
We had a Stanford PhD student reach out to us asking for assistance with her research. If you’re feeling generous with your time, read on-
Are you currently searching or about to be searching for an internship or a full-time position in software engineering for next year? If so, I am interested in learning more about your search!
My name is Katie Wullert and I am a current PhD candidate in the sociology department at Stanford where I do research on the labor market. You are invited to participate in a survey examining how first-time job seekers learn to navigate the labor market. Your participation will take around 10 to 20 minutes. If you complete the survey, you will be entered into a raffle to receive one of five $20 Amazon gift cards. The raffle will be conducted on November 1st, 2019. The drawing will be conducted by myself in Palo Alto, California. Participation in the study is not required in order to participate in the raffle. You can enter the raffle if you do not start or complete the study task. The chance of winning a prize is approximately 1 in 100. The winners will be notified immediately by email and provided with information on how to receive the prize.
If you are interested in participating, please complete this survey. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at kwullert@stanford.edu.

Hello Allen School students!
Congresswoman DelBene is holding Congressional App Challenge Appathon on Saturday, October 26th, 12pm to 8pm and Sunday, October 27th, 10am to 4pm at UW Bothell. The Congresswoman is interested if there are any computer science students who would be interested in volunteering to help be on site as mentors. Mentorship is a huge part of what makes this experience valuable for the students. Mentors are not expected to participate for the entire two days (you will be asked to help with a 2-3 hour shift on part of one of the days)
Interested in volunteering?
- Please fill-out this form and we will share it with the organizers & they will connect with you
- If you fill-out this form we expect that you are committing to being a mentor, responding in a timely manner to any emails you receive from the hackathon organizers, and representing the Allen School and UW community in an appropriate and inclusive manner.
Keep reading for more information:
The Appathon is an event for middle and high school students in participating districts to create and develop mobile applications. At the Appathon, students have the opportunity to learn about technology and what is needed to build an app from start to finish. Students form teams to successfully complete their apps, and we try to have mentorship from the local technology community to assist in problem solving. At the end of the Appathon, teams present their application to a judging panel to be considered for prizes. After the Appathon, teams will be able to submit their apps to the Congressional App Challenge.
Mentors will engage with the students as they or their groups develop an app. Mentors can assist them with their app development, help with coding platforms/languages, and give general guidance/ideas. The Appathon is open this event to students of all backgrounds, meaning that some of them may have little or no coding experience. Mentors are key to helping kids at whatever stage they’re at, to come up with an app concept and carry it through to something they can demo during their presentation. Mentors are not expected to participate for the entire two days. The office is currently working on coordinating mentors in shifts, so 2-3 hours part of one of the days would be ideal.
