please join session on inspiring next gen of women in tech 3/23 at 10am EST

[Kim Wilkens]

Just wanted to extend an invitation to my session, Teen Tech Girls: Inspiring the Next Generation of Women in Tech at the Breaking Traditions Online Conference on March 23 at 10am EST. The conference is free & you can join the virtual room without registration (although I'm sure the conf. organizers would appreciate your registration). The link for the virtual room (Blackboard Collaborate) will be available here. I would love to have any of you drop in and share your experiences of engaging girls in tech. I can even add a slide or two for you in the presentation.

Thanks,

Kim

Fantastic, thanks for sharing Kim! I will definitely register and try to attend, although we actually have a girls session this Sunday ;)

I think this is also a good opportunity to share some of the great research from NCWIT:

• Guide to Promising Practices in Informal Information Technology Education for Girls
• Design Physical Space for Women's Entry & Persistence in Computer
• Inspiring Girls to Pursue Careers in Information Technology

Best,

Hi Kim,

We will try to drop in as well from Limerick once our Main Dojo & all girls session is over. And after we attempt a Harlem Shake for a bit of PR.

Our very own Pam O'Brien  will be on later in the day discussing "What Can We Learn from CoderDojo?"

I would like to wish you both the best of luck.

Regards,

Eugene

[Pam O Brien]

Thanks for the good wishes Eugene

Kim, I'm not sure if I'll be able to make any of your session as it
coincides with the end of our CoderDojo session and I'll be travelling
home afterwards. I had really hoped to be able to drop in to it. If
I don't get a chance I hope it goes well.

Regards,
Pam

Awesome! And can I just say I love the global connections that CoderDojo has inspired!

We are a small country but we spread out well :-)

Thanks for the invite Kim - I'll try my best to catch some of this but I'll be just finished hosting our first Coderdojo Divas session in Limerick. Best of luck with the presentation and thanks for sharing all the materials.

Best regards,
Karen

I'm also presenting at the Breaking Traditions conference on Saturday
(5.30pm EST 9.30pm GMT). It would be great to have some others to
share their CoderDojo experiences
