Silicon Cape Women in Technology Unconference
Wed Sep 16, 14:00 - Wed Sep 16, 18:00
The Open, Workshop 17
ABOUT
Come contribute to greater collaboration and co-operation between groups in Cape Town working on behalf of Women in Technology.
We will kick off with a panel discussion lead by Emily Reid (Curriculum Director of Girls Who Code) to activate our hearts and minds, after which local agile coach Cara Turner from CodeX will facilitate group conversations based on the OpenSpace method. This facilitation method enables people from diverse backgrounds to explore complex challenges by self-selecting into groups to unpack ideas and concerns they care about most.
