Women in Tech Weekly Issue Number 5
Happy Tuesday, friend! I hope you’ve had a great start to yet another wonderful week in your life 🙂
Let’s jump straight into:
Celebrations ??
Alison held her first workshop for Women In Tech Pittsburgh!
In her own words:
“Held a C++ workshop and taught music technology/ audio engineering at CISCO in Pittsburgh. Worked with young ladies to spark their interest in coding and tech and taught them how to remix music. They were shocked to know that STEM intersects with the work their favourite artists do.”
This is so awesome, Alison! You’re incredible in everything you do and this is another example of how awesome and creative your brain is ?

Aqsa is killing it studying Data Science and Coding!
“I am a badass woman who has shifted from Biotechnology to Data science and I have successfully completed my masters and got awarded for Making my name between the CS students.”
Yessss, you are a badass woman! You go girl! ?
Marcela has uploaded her Arduino course on Udemy and started a YouTube channel!
In her own words:
I finally put my Arduino course in the educational platform Udemy and started my youtube channel where I am speaking about educational projects, tech and my academic life.
I’ve been teaching since 2017 this technology and I have a dream which is using the tech to empower people and help everybody to change the world in a better place. I strongly believe that this combo Internet + Educational Projects is the best way to achieve this objective. If somebody wants to do this course, I have a discount“
This is so awesome, I’m sure it feels incredibly rewarding! Putting your stuff out there for the first time is the hardest step, now everything is going to get so much easier!

Eden has launched an Instagram account to bridge the gap between software engineers and the rest of the world!
In her own words:
“I often find myself using analogies to explain different tech concepts to my coworkers, friends, and family, and wanted to share them with the world. Through this account, I’m hoping that people will realize that software is not this big, scary, intimidating thing and that they feel it is much more within their reach (because it totally is!). Here’s a link to the account, website coming soon!”
Eden, this is so cool! I love the example below and I can’t wait to see your creativity shine in more posts like that one ?

Resources ??
Become a better Leader – shared by me ?
My latest video, which has useful information and exercises for everyone! You don’t have to be in a leadership role to be a leader – watch the video to learn how. Danielle also gives awesome advice for female leaders, trust me, you don’t want to miss this one!
15 Careers in Tech – What opportunities are there for me in tech? – shared by Itzel
Iztel says:
“Many people think that you need to know how to code in order to enter the tech industry, but that is simply not true.
If you are looking to enter the tech industry but don’t know what opportunities are available for you? ? Then this video is for you!
We analyzed the career pages of the top 10 tech companies and created a list of non-technical + technical career opportunities available for you! ??”
Paper Oranges – shared by Dasani
Dasani says:
“@xtineyweenie just launched Paper Oranges! The goal of Paper Oranges is to create a storytelling platform to elevate the voices of people who aren’t being heard enough. We want this community to allow others to express their perspective as we recognize the disparity in representation in stories. I’ve been helping her out and it’s amazing to see it finally happen! We are looking for more people to help us out (so please do join us!)”
Control your emotions using your body language
Probably one of the best ever created Ted Talks! Amy Cuddy talks about the magic of power poses (which work, I’ve tried them many times) and how by changing our body language we can change our hormones – and therefore change our attitudes. It’s a must watch for anyone:
I hope this was a good dose of inspiration for your Tuesday morning!!
