We are proud to be hosting a 2019 International Women's Day Celebration sponsored by Women Techmakers and Aims Community College. This event will highlight the stories of our growing female community of designers, developers, and technology entrepreneurs. One of the most powerful thing women can do for other women in the field of technology is to simply share our stories. We would love to hear about your experience in technology! We would like to collect 2 to 5 min. stories from women who would like to share their experience with us. We would like to record and post the stories to youtube for other women around the world. The first 10 women volunteers to share their story will be awarded a very special gift bag (worth up to 15$). We will be providing refreshments and possibly other schwag for all participants, even those who do not want to share. Join us anyway! Please come and contribute your story or hear the stories of others and celebrate women in technology at this event. All women in technology are invited to join us at Aims on April 26 from 6 to 8 pm in the Ed Beaty theater. About Aims: About the Aims Computer Information Systems (CIS) Program About Google Developer Group About Women Techmakers About Aims Community College
Aims Associate Professor Jennifer Bailey is an organizer of the Google Developer Group and host of the event. After joining Aims in 2011 to teach Mobile Application development, she sought resources in the community to help her learn what the industry knows about technology. When Women Techmakers formed a few years later, Google and the GDG encouraged her to get involved as a woman who works in education and technology.
The Aims Computer Science program offers training in web development, cyber security, networking, database administration, A+ Hardware certification preparation and mobile and desktop application development. Students can earn an A.A.S. degree in Computer Information Systems or Web Design and Development or earn a certificate. More information is available at www.aims.edu/academics/cis.
Google Developer Groups are local groups of developers who are specifically interested in Google products and APIs. Each local group is called a GDG chapter and can host a variety of technical activities for developers, from just a few people getting together to watch our latest videos, to large gatherings with demos and tech talks, to hackathons.
Women Techmakers is Google's global program and brand for women in technology. Kicked off in 2012 by then VP of Google[x], Megan Smith, Women Techmakers is now led by Women in Technology Advocate Natalie Villalobos and a global team of Googlers who are passionate about empowering women in technology through increased visibility, community and resources.
