The Woman Techmaker's theme if this year's International Women's Day is Dare To Be
Join Women Techmakers for our International Woman's Day Dare To Be Celebration. Join Jennifer Bailey, Professor of Computer Science and Author of Hack Your Job Search to learn some great tips about building hacking your job search, and building confidence speaking for interviews or presentations. We'll have some interactive games and prizes!
When we Dare to Be: we explore what it would mean to be audaciously bold, to walk through the world with courage and confidence. We are willing to try something new, step outside of our comfort zone, and be unapologetically ourselves. We don’t let societal or cultural roles or norms dictate who we are or how big we can dream.
The beauty of “Dare To Be” is that it is part of a larger sentence: you can dare to be bold, to be innovative, to be resilient - it can apply to so many aspects of our lives. And to approach the theme from this perspective - to allow anyone to imagine what they dare to be - we recognize that each of us has something unique to offer. Everyone brings a different set of skills and strengths to the table. And when we as a community are able to harness the diversity of all those skills and courageous actions, we are able to continue our goal to build a world where all women can thrive in tech.
I can't wait to see you there!
