Join us in celebrating International Women's Day Brunei 2022 from
Date: Tuesday, 8th March 2022 until Sunday, 13th March 2022.
Time: 7PM onwards on weekdays and 2PM onwards on weekends.
The event is fully virtual. Follow our Instagram at @womentechmakersbrunei for updates
International Women’s Day (IWD) occurs on March 8th every year. It marks a moment to celebrate and provide visibility for the incredible contributions of women around the world and is a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Usually we have one full day hybrid (in-person and virtual) event but we understand that long hours in front of the screen can cause fatigue, so we have decided to organize this year's fully virtual event for not longer than 2 hours each day! We hope you can make it!
This year our theme celebrates all kinds of progress - big or small - and the strength we demonstrate when we don’t let fear hold us back from following our dreams.
So often we hold ourselves to impossibly high standards and feel disappointed when we can’t reach them - or worse, we don’t even try. When we let the idea of being perfect go, we allow ourselves the space and freedom to try new things, to make mistakes and to learn. We see that all of our experiences - the good, the bad, and the ugly - have made us who we are today. Instead of striving for perfection, we can strive for growth and discovery. Instead of being fixated on the destination, we enjoy the journey, wherever it takes us.
Our paths aren’t always linear, and we may come across seemingly impossible challenges, but when we celebrate #ProgressNotPerfection, we are celebrating all we’ve accomplished - big and small - and our inner strength and resilience that allowed us to get here.

I am a student and love to learn new technology including Web Development. I mainly use C# and Java programming languages because I develop games with Unity3D Engine and Android Application. I am also experienced in developing a Web Application with Visual Studio and C#. However, Flutter is becoming one of my favourites although I just learn it recently because it has the potential to be one of the best frameworks to create web applications.
