#womenintech #workshops
We welcome you to join us for a night of talks with women within the tech industry, as well as exciting workshops organised by the education teams from The Mind Lab, MOTAT and special guests.
What's it all about?
‘How Women are Rapidly Reshaping our World’ focuses on creating a network of support for women who are interested in developing a career in tech. We will be celebrating women’s skills while also highlighting women’s many strengths that often go unseen in the workplace.
Our goal for this event is to empower young women to join the technology sector, provide advice and guidance to women already in the workforce, and share our passion and expertise with women of all ages who are eager to learn.
Our diverse range of female speakers from the technology, education and business sectors will be sharing their insights and lessons learned from experiences within the tech industry.
At The Mind Lab, we believe in learning through doing. At the end of the night we will guide you through an assortment of exciting tech workshops organised by the education teams from The Mind Lab, MOTAT and special guests. Experience game development, play with microcontrollers, and get creative with simple and complex materials when building fun and innovative inventions.
All attendees will also receive a special discount code for the July school holiday workshops at The Mind Lab @ MOTAT.
This action-packed evening will require some relaxed drinks and nibbles to finish, with social opportunities to connect and build your network.
