The next installment in the Building the Pipeline with Community College Insights on Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) series. The session was presented by Professor Nancy Binowski of the County College of Morris, an NCWIT Higher Ed Alliance institution.
Meet the Presenter:
Nancy Binowski Before joining County College of Morris (CCM), Professor Nancy Binowski worked at AT&T where she participated in research and worked on a wide range of software development activities. While working at AT&T in Bell Laboratories, Binowski was awarded a patent in telecommunications architecture. While on a sabbatical leave to learn Android app development, Binowski created an app for the IT department at CCM. The administration was impressed with Binowski’s work and requested she make apps for every department at CCM. Instead of creating multiple apps, Binowski gathered together a team of student developers to help create one, cohesive CCM app. In addition to teaching, Binowski enjoys working with student clubs and setting up events with them. One such event was HackCCM, a 12-hour event where high school and college students from around New Jersey came together and formed teams to create websites, games, software applications, and then showcase them to a panel of judges.
