Agenda

6:00 AM	Introduction to International Women's Day & Women Techmakers
6:10 AM	Journey to SWE (English) - Bhavya Chandra, Software engineer, Google	In her talk, Bhavya will share about the hurdles that she encountered (in particular, microaggressions and casual sexism), and how you can build your brand as a Software Engineer via participation in talks, twitter, meet ups, open source projects and self-initiated projects etc.
7:00 AM	Why we created a "Good morning image" generating chatbot” (English) - Tzer-jen Wei, Felix Lin, Gigi Liu, Sylvia Chen	It is popular for senior citizens in Taiwan to create and send ""good morning images"" and other kitschy images with cliche statements on a regular basis via chatting apps. Though younger people may find this annoying, it might be what senior citizens attempts to fit into the age of social media. We create a generator using GAN and NLP models, so that senior citizens can easily express their feelings and love in a form similar to ""good morning images"" via a simple chat bot interface.
8:00 AM	Workshop: Solving Wordle with SQLite (English / Cantonese) - Amanda Lam	Not sure which word to try next while you're playing Wordle? In this workshop, we will leverage open source word lists to establish a simple SQLite database, and find out the most probable word by creating simple SQL queries. We will also talk about the typical applications of SQLite and SQL language in general.
8:30 AM	Workshop: A taste of coding with machine learning APIs (English / Cantonese) - Emma Wong	This workshop is for those who are novice in coding but curious about what machine learning has to offer. By leveraging free online resources, you will learn about the basic concepts of programming fundamentals, cloud APIs and the power of machine learning.
9:00 AM	#ProgressNotPerfection: Our journeys to a fruitful tech career (Cantonese) - Winnie So, Garnet Xiong, Amanda Lam	Being a woman in the male-dominated tech industry is never easy, not even mention how we have to overcome common stereotypes and social norms from our family, friends and coworkers. Wanna take the challenge to progress your career in tech? Learn about the motivations, lessons, experiences and tips from remarkable women in different tech roles to get inspired.
