Back to school time .. and catch up!

To be fair – we’ve been keeping pretty busy as ever planning some great things – we’ll give a quick rundown for those of you who have not been keeping a half eye on us whilst sitting by the pool/sea/up a mountain/on their boats .. or wherever you’ve all been!

First up we have FREE Introduction to Data Analytics for Ladies on Saturday the 7th September – this goes in with our theme on Data that we are currently looking to encourage members to look into. It’s currently on waitlist but if it goes well, we will try and run another one

Tech³Shed

Women’s Tech Hub ~ Bristol are hosting another super-inclusive Tech3Shed Careers Fair on Saturday 9th November 2019. This is a fantastic chance for companies to engage with our members and either recruit or advise them. All those that we here saying that they have no women apply – well come speak to them and find out why! For attendees we won’t let anyone go away from the event without at least having a chat with a company wanting to advise or support and if you come on your own our members will be there to make intros. Contact us on info@wthub.org or go to the sponsors page for details on Tech3Shed. Attendees please sign up on eventbrite (its free!)

Problem solving through data analysis

Questions that can be answered by analysing data exist everywhere, whether in work or life. This hands-on workshop will demonstrate the problem solving process of getting data, exploring it, visualising, analysing in order to answer some questions, and assessing the results. Participants will gain transferrable knowledge, along with some useful Python commands. For Beginners, career changers. No previous Python knowledge required.
