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!

in collaboration conference grants meeting mwgcp ngcp niu stem stemfest
The Midwest Girls Collaborative Project is holding its 2010 Fall Forum, Saturday, October 23, at the Convocation Center of Northern Illinois University in conjunction with STEMfest. The collaboration is composed of people and organizations in Illinois that believe in maximizing their impact on increasing the number of girls in the STEM fields by collaborating with each other. We would like to invite all in the region who are interested in working together to increase girls’ interest in the STEM fields to join us for a day of networking, learning about past mini-grant projects and how to apply for the upcoming mini-grant round. http://www.stemfest.niu.edu/stem/fest/MWGCP.shtml
