Women’s Tech Hub in collaboration with UWE
April the 28th 2022 @ The Watershed, Central Bristol
Women’s Tech Hub is proud to present a one day conference in collaboration with UWE Bristol. Rather than it being a conference for people in the field, this is a conference for people interested in Data Science and learning what it’s about, how to transfer into the field and generally what it’s about.
Our Feature pictures will be based on disciplines that use Data science. This weeks is Aquaponics.

A Problem Solving Toolkit or Why we’re much more useful than we think we are!
Laura Warren talks us through how she’s tackling problems and navigating a non-linear career in tech.
Laura Warren has developed the concept of a Problem Solving Toolkit which enables her to apply experiences outside of technical roles to the challenges she’s encountered as a Developer. As she re-launches herself as a Business Analyst on an upcoming assignment, she’d like to share how this approach has enabled her to forge a non-traditional career path, through recounting personal stories and experiences.
Check out our event page for joining details.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science
It was last week on the 11th – whoops, sorry we missed it (as you can see we are busy setting up events). Heres and interesting piece though about why we exist and why you should join us:
Women accounted for one in three (33%) researchers in 2018. They have achieved parity (in numbers) in life sciences in many countries and even dominate this field, in some cases. However, women remain a minority in digital information technology, computing, physics, mathematics and engineering. These are the fields that are driving the digital revolution and so, many of the jobs of tomorrow.
