Welcome
Welcome to the wiki for the Outreach to Minorities group within the Charlotte SLC (Student Leadership Corp). We are a part of a larger organization called the STARS Alliance where we are working on increaing the number of underrepresented groups in CS and IT.

Who we are within the STARS Alliance Charlotte Area SLC
Our group's specific mission is reaching out to other African-American CS and SIS students at UNC Charlotte. We do this through service to our community in conjunction with BDPA Charlotte, peer outreach, and mentoring. The wiki is our "official" website.

Projects
Our current project is the High School Computer Competition Saturday Academy, where students in K-12 come together for weekly classes in Uptown Charlotte in web design, databases, and other topics. The Academy is designed to prepare students for the High School Computer Competition held each year at the annual BDPA conference, which will be in Washington, D.C.
