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

Are you a woman? Are you a Geek? She’s Geeky is for you! Join us for an UNConference of amazing people, amazing discussions, great presentations.

She’s Geeky 10 – The 5th Bay Area Event January 27-29, 2012 Computer History Museum, 1401 N Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View, CA 94043 www.shesgeeky.org Follow us on Twitter.

Women attending She’s Geeky events find inspiration and gain self confidence to pursue or continue on STEM career paths because they are given the opportunity to present their work, often for the first time, discuss critical issues and build peer networks for support.

We have hosted 10 successful events in the last five years around the country, inclusive of women of all ages who self-identify as geeks. We attract women from a broad spectrum of technological specialties, professions, industries, levels of expertise, and across generations.

Instead of a pre-planned agenda, the agenda is created live the day of the event by all the geek women who attend. Join us!

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.
