At Google, we believe a diversity of attributes, experiences, and perspectives are needed to build tools that can change the world. Everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue a career in computer science and technology, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, ability or military service. We understand that, for some folks who are underrepresented in computer science and technology, there are barriers to attending leading tech conferences. We are committed to breaking those down. As such, we’re excited to offer a travel grant for the Chrome Dev Summit on November 12-13th, 2018 in San Francisco, CA, USA.
WORTH
The Women Techmakers & Chrome Dev Summit Travel Grant will cover airfare or train fare to and from the conference and/or hotel up to $500 USD. Those applicants that are selected as winners will be put in touch with our travel agency partner. When travel is booked, the price will be reduced by $500 and remaining balance will be paid by the applicant.
