What a fun month of diversity and inclusive events. I was very excited to attend AlterConf Dublin on August 6th and learnt a lot from the amazing stories told that day. Soon after, Etsy & Coding Grace partnered for our first ever Allyship workshop on August 11th. I didn't take many photos from both events, I have however captured some of my thoughts which includes storyified links of folks tweets from both events. I attended Intertech Ireland's Wonder Women event (Aug 18), which had an array of fantastic speakers.
Besides all the wonderful events I attended, I want to mention about the sad passing of an amazing and talented person in sci-tech, Jemma Redmond. She left behind an amazing legacy, for those who don't know, she worked on producing bioprinters to print items used for medicine.
Big thanks to WITS Ireland and Women in Technology Galway for inviting Coding Grace to mentor a beginner's Python workshop as The Porter Shed recently. I had a lot of fun, met some wonderful people and the space is amazing, and it was our very first Coding Grace in Galway. Here's a couple of pics from the evening (thanks to Sandra Riordan for the photos).
