Hi all,
Jessica McKellar (a mentor for the Twisted project for the Outreach Program for Women) asked me to pass this on to you. She had the pleasure and honor of being a Resident at Hacker School this past batch and had a great time. She highly recommends it!
Please consider applying for it and feel free to pass on this information!
Thanks,
Marina

Apply to Hacker School
Hacker School is a three-month, full-time school in New York for
becoming a better programmer. It's like a writers retreat for hackers.
Tuition is free, and we provide space, a little structure, time to
focus, and a friendly community of smart people dedicated to
self-improvement.
We strive to make Hacker School the best environment to learn and grow
as a programer. Towards that end, we have explicit social rules (e.g.,
no "well, actuallys," no "feigning surprise," no "subtle sexism"), we
aim for gender parity (our past two batches were 37-45% female), and
we host amazing people as programmers in residence who work directly
with students (last batch: Jessica McKellar, Peter Seibel, Alex Payne,
Stefan Karpinski, and David Nolen).
Tuition is free, and we provide $5k, need-based grants to women for
living expenses.
We value free software, beautiful code, and personal growth. Apply now
to be part of our winter 2013 batch, which begins in February:

You can also learn about the type of people we look for and if we'd be
a fit for you:

I got accepted for this batch too, but I didn't get the visa at the end :(.
I will try with the visa next year too and we'll see.
