Hello folks,
Happy Saturday!
Just thought I’d give a quick update on how the Chipy Mentorship Program
has progressed so far.

Signups:
# of mentors signed up: 15
# of mentees new to programming: 2
# of mentees new to Python: 16
# of mentee-s Advanced Python: 5
Total: 37

Assignment:
# of mentors with a mentee: 13
# of mentees new to programming with an assigned mentor:1
# of mentees new to Python with an assigned mentor:11
# of mentees with Advanced Python with an assigned mentor:1

Outstanding:
# of mentors for newbie mentees without an assignment: 2
# of mentees unreachable: 4
# of mentees new to programming without an assigned mentor:1 (unreachable)
# of mentees new to Python without an assigned mentor:2 (unreachable)
# of mentees with Advanced Python without an assigned mentor:4 (1
unreachable, 3 no advanced mentors)

Other points:
- Data analysis is the most common area of interest.
- # of female developers: 6
- # of students:2 (1 high-school, 1 grad student)

Chipy organized a dinner last Monday to thank the mentors for their time.
Most of the M&M pairs have been introduced and are figuring out the what
they want to achieve in the next three months.

Advanced mentees, will probably end up forming a focused hack group to peer
coach on advanced topics.

It has been really amazing to see the level of enthusiasm among the M&M-s
and I’m sure we are on to something big!

See you all at the Oct 9th at Braintree *new* office!

Cheers,
T
