"Entering into the tech industry can be overwhelming at times and I believe that programs like these can really make a difference for junior engineers. It is also a great opportunity for those who wish to gain more experience in handling the responsibilities of a more senior engineer or team lead."

"The open source mentorship provides a great way to provide a valuable learning experience fellows to be hands on with enterprise workflows like pipelines and complex cloud configurations. This can help AWS customers better understand the technology they are using and enable them to contribute to the project, which can in turn improve the technology for everyone. Let's unblock customers with the best of our integrations."

"I've delivered many similar workshops, but had not yet experienced such an engaged, inquisitive group of folks as this group of fellows. Many have reached out and shared how they plan on applying the skills gained from the workshop and where they will go next in their research into the topic. Clearly, this community is nurturing a growth mindset"

"When I was learning to code in 2018, volunteer mentors were pivotal in my growth and confidence as a software engineer. It feels so rewarding to be able to give back and be that person other mentors were for me. Engaging with a group that exhibits such a strong desire to learn challenges me to improve my communication skills to make sure I'm effectively explaining technical concepts."
