Editor’s note: Every week we ship an email newsletter featuring the region’s most exciting career opportunities. We’ve lovingly called it This Week in Jobs (aka TWIJ — “twidge.”). Below is this week’s edition. Here’s the last one we published; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.
Birds of a Feather
Talk about a crowded communal living space.
Thousands of birds have flocked to an industrial chimney in the Hampden neighborhood in Baltimore. Each night at dusk they emerge to dine on tens of thousands of insects nearby — drawing as many as 100 people a night to watch the spectacle. Now, that’s the type of de-bugging that TWIJ can get behind.
The News
Got an idea to help save the world from climate change? Exelon Corporation, a Fortune 100 that’s the country’s largest energy provider by revenue, is offering $20 million for seed-stage startups working on clean energy and environmental technology in D.C. and Baltimore, among other cities. Applications are due Oct. 25 and will be announced in December. Click the link to find out what kind of projects they’re looking to fund.
If you’re looking to learn to code but can’t leave your job, Nucamp is launching an affordable and flexible coding bootcamp in Baltimore. In Nucamp’s hybrid model, students complete their assignments online before meeting up in-person at workshops once a week. Course options range from a four-week beginner boot camp to advanced courses that cover front-end web, mobile development and full stack web. Everyone’s welcome: More than half of Nucamp’s students are women, and close to a third are minorities.
