Social Media Week

Social Media Week is a global conference held in over 25 cities worldwide. Participate in the Bristol edition and attend events across the city which are designed to upskill, inform, explore ideas and opportunities and further the conversation on key issues in media, marketing and technology. For full details you can check out the main website Social Media Week on from the 10th to the 14th – we’re expecting that they’ll be publicising it well!

Workshop Wednesdays

Starting at the next Workshop Wednesday 19th June, Kathryn (from CodeHub (https://www.codehub.org.uk/) will be kicking off self-led python study group(s).  The aim is to bring together people who want to learn or improve their python skills, provide suggestions on learning materials/courses, and share experiences on what makes effective self-led groups.  At the end of the evening we’d hope that there would be one or more groups who have agreed to study together and have, at least, planned the next step.  

All levels and genders are welcome, though the focus is likely to be on those who are less (or no) experienced in python.  We would warmly welcome those who have a few python skills already and would be willing to support the groups – it will be a fun way of helping your own development, as well as being a great addition to your CV!

GrrrlGames will also be there ” Grrrl Games is for women* interested in the field of game development. We meet up on the first Tuesday of every month in Bristol, for talks, practical sessions and group discussions on all areas of gaming. “

Any companies wishing to engage by paying for pizzas and drinks and running workshops etc please get in touch on info@wthub.org.

Bristol Tech Fair

We have a date – it will be on the 9th November and it will be at the Colston Hall Bristol Tech Fair (currently setting up the site!) alongside Technotopia, our Tech3shed careers fair and WISE and possibly with some collaboration with TEDxBristol. We’re getting a lot of interest and should have the sponsorship package ready this week, we’re also adding some of the suggestions given to us after the last Tech3Shed event which includes free Jobs board for our sponsors/members https://tech3shed.org/jobs – mail us on info@bristoltechfair.org for info!
