Epicodus is committed to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion (DEI) in the tech industry. For that reason, we've made our DEI and other diversity-related curriculum available publicly.
dei-lessons includes all general lessons on DEI in our curriculum. Topics include identifying and preventing microaggressions, addressing implicit bias, understanding stereotype threat, and others.
dei-reflections includes the reflective assignment that's tied to each of our DEI lessons. This curriculum is currently optional for our students.
Currently our DEI lessons are spread out accross the full program:
All of these lessons can be found live on our website:

We're also offering periodic DEI Workshops, about every 5 weeks, on these topics:
In these workshops students briefly learn about a topic, and then break out into small groups to discuss prompts on the workshop's topic. We then come back as a large group to discuss.
We've done our best to compile information and resources here that are helpful to our students, but we don't want to claim that we're experts in DEI. If you have suggestions or concerns, pull requests and issues are welcome!
