Our technology team is composed of technologists from a wide range of fields such as cyber-security, infrastructure, web development, distributed systems, and systems engineering. On top of project owners and mentors with extensive industry experience on these subjects, our volunteers include active-duty service members, military spouses, undergraduate and graduate computer science students, and coding Bootcamp graduates. We are connected through our project’s mission, our hunger for learning, and our love of collaborative environments.
We are currently seeking individuals interested in contributing to the Minimum Viable Product of ToyNet, our open-sourced learning platform written in ReactJS and Flask using a relational datastore. We are currently deployed to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and have Dockerized all of our services to easily install the software onto laptops in prison environments where access to the internet is usually limited. Check out the video below to hear Skillbridge Intern Theo Lindsey and UChicago summer technology interns Josiah Aviles and Sabine Salnave explain Docker, Kubernetes, and demonstrate how node and pod failures and handled by ReplicaSets!

Joining the Community
We have regular, remote meetings and open some of our events for newcomers to work on our open-source projects, discuss career goals, and learn new technology. Reach out to admin@projectreclass.org to get invited to these events. Our community is a close-knit team focused on professional development. Watch the video below to hear about Arthur Lacey, a Reclass software engineering and transitioning veteran, first decided to join the military and is now ready to make an impact in the civilian world.
Contributing to Open-Source
You can contribute directly to our open-source projects without joining the community at (github.com/Project-Reclass) by following the guidelines outlined in our documentation (docs.projectreclass.org/toynet).
