Summary
Christmas Social, YTKO launches Multiply course and Skills Bootcamp & Female engineers deleting myth that tech is for men
Christmas
Yes – we’ve heard the songs and seen the lights appearing everywhere so we know it’s that time of year again. We’ve decided that our final Workshop Wednesday of the year before breaking for the festivities (on the 14th) will include pizza (not particularly festive but easier than a roast!) and an early finish to go to the bar opposite (the portwall tavern). We’ve been a bit slow with Girlgeekdinners so we are inviting those members along too – feel free to just pop in and say hi: sign up via WTH here with girl geeks here and if you’re with codehub just pop over with us after the workshops – we will be finishing by 8.30.

Interesting Piece from the BBC … and a core message!
Coding: Female engineers deleting myth that tech is for men
“I never thought I could do it but it’s honestly the best decision I’ve ever made,” said Zoe.
“Because I studied media, psychology and English at A-level I just didn’t think I’d end up here,” explained Zoe, who works for Veygo Insurance in Cardiff.
“I now help make the website function, adding features and sorting any problems that arise, and I really love it.”
