Women in Tech
Event Information
Description
The University of Nottingham's Women In Tech day is for everyone; tech enthusiasts, programmers or non-programmers, students at college or university, women from all walks of life.
It's all about women inspiring women.
There are three parts to the day: talks from some of the most interesting and exciting women within the tech industry, workshops from hands on programming to smaller talks and an afternoon of networking opportunities with some of the best companies around.
Why are we doing this?
Only 13% of STEM jobs in the UK are occupied by women and out of all the CS students in the UK, only 18% are women. This is why HackSoc and The University of Nottingham have teamed up to inspire and encourage female university and sixth form students to pursue technology as a hobby or a career. We want women to inspire women; to get students from any backgroun excited by their potential.
No matter what your background, there are limitless opportunities in technology for you.
