We started working on making ACMW come to life in the Summer of 2016. With the help of Dr. Jennifer Kay and Professor Chia Chien, we had our first meeting on campus with interested students and faculty. It was decided then that we needed to get working on a Student Seed Fund offered by NCWIT for new ACMW chapters. The application for this fund was completed and submitted. We were selected and received an NCWIT Student Seed Fund award in August 2016. Since that time, we have also applied for and received a Google igniteCS award to make a difference in our local community with CS mentorship. Our chapter is officially affiliated with ACMW and we have began the process of becoming chartered at Rowan.
We make an impact with our outreach programs. Backed by funding from Google IgniteCS and NCWIT, our robotics program is growing in numbers.
