• Reached out to all the contacts, 7 emails bounced

• As the result of this phase of outreach 26 more students from 18 Engineering colleges/universities signed up
• Most of these students are already part of open source clubs/initiatives Would love to hear any inputs if this can be improved
• Low participation of women persists: When the law schools shared about the gender sensitization in campus, the engineering college students agreed that the criteria of being part of the club can be intimidating to many and can result low participation of women. The design students shared that they have a fair ratio of all genders and don't have much of any inherent bias in academia/clubs. This could have been one of the reasons of low participation of women from many engineering colleges/tech universities.
