by, for, and about women in science, technology, engineering, & math

The ACM’s Dot Diva initiative is seeking technical women in their 20s to profile on their site in order to inspire high school girls. (And while we’re on the topic of profile of technical women, don’t forget that Stemming wants to post a profile of you too for next month’s Ada Lovelace Day.)

In San Francisco, Sarah Allen has an internship opportunity for a new Rubyist.

Also in San Francisco, featuring Sarah Allen (and Sarah Mei), and Ruby-related: the San Francisco Ruby on Rails Outreach Workshop for Women is back next weekend! There are only a few spots left, so sign up now if you’re interested. I was a TA at the Boston version of this last fall, and I cannot recommend the workshop highly enough — it’s free, completely newbie-friendly (whether you’re totally new to programming or just new to Ruby), childcare is available, everyone is nice and friendly, and it’s overall a super-fun way to get started with Ruby and meet some great people.
