Presented by Triangirls: Not your average women in tech event. This event is open to all womxn and non-binary* people working in Design & Tech.

A huge thank you to Brendan from Studio Rival, who has sponsored this event. 100% of the sponsorship money will be donated to BLM.

Description

Join us remotely, from the comfort of your own home. We have speakers talking about mindfulness, designing for belonging, psychological safely, side projects and career changes.

As our events are usually in person, we would love for people to join the event using their camera if you are comfortable in doing so. We understand we can't replicate the previous atmosphere of Triangirls events but we'll try our hardest to!

Schedule

6:30 – Welcome and introduction by Triangirls

6:40 - Kish Modasia - Mindfulness

Kish will be taking us on a journey of mindfulness to help each of us find the courage to stop, take a few breaths, and relax in just a matter of seconds.

6:50 - Lara Mendonça - Design for belonging

Tech is shaping the future of our planet. It's changing how we have fun, vote, shop, communicate. It's also affecting our sense of belonging, in our personal and professional relationships, and collectively.

But why does belonging matter to designers? And how do we design to hold space for everyone to feel truly empowered to speak up and change the structures in society?

This talk will show how we can create a path for affecting change: as a person; as a designer; as a team member; and as a leader.

7:10 - Naomi Gibson - Creating psychological safety in teams

7:20 - Break

7:30 - Temi Olukoko - 100 days of code to first job

How the 100 days of code challenge helped prepare her for her first developer role by learning how to build various web applications.

7:40 - Racheal - Why career changes are scary but worth it

7:50 - Nicole Ingra - 2020: the year of reinvention

Like many, I started this year full of plans and hope. I had quit my job to move to Barcelona, and become a nomad-ish freelance. But when Covid hit Europe & the rest of the Western world, it felt as if my life was put on hold, with circumstances beyond my control. So I decided to use my energy and newly found time to bring to life a passion project - to experiment, giving fewer fucks and reinvent once again.

8:00 - Open Mic

During our event, we have a segment where the floor can be yours for 5-10 minutes. The content is up to you, whether you'd like to share a funny story, or tell us you are hiring, or start a debate. Let us know you'd like sometime.
