Hacker School, a free 3 month long "retreat" to improve programming skills, is accepting applications for the summer session. The school is in New York City, and while there is no tutition to attend, living for 3 months in NY is expensive. Their current session has only 1 female student out of class of 20 and hope to see the summer batch at 50% female students. Addressing the gender bias in technology he has been troubled by over his 17 year career Marc Hedlund, VP of Engineering at Etsy.com, has helped created a $50,000 scholarship "Etsy Hacker Grants" for female students from to make attending Hacker School viable for more women financially.
