I am excited to share that TUDev, the student organization I have been advising at Temple University, has begun offering software engineering workshops for students! David Loder, student president of TUDev, designed and taught workshops providing hands-on learning experiences in various aspects of software development, including coding, backend, software, and collaboration tools. Our goal is to equip students with practical skills and knowledge that will help them succeed in their academic and professional careers. We look forward to seeing the impact these workshops will have on our student community and are eager to continue expanding our offerings in the future.
