Details

Join us for a virtual networking mixer where tech industry professionals volunteer to answer your questions and share their wisdom! Total beginners are especially welcome! :) We're here to build a more diverse and beginner-friendly tech community together.

This time, we'll use the 2D virtual event space WorkAdventure (https://workadventu.re/) -- sort of like a cross between Zoom and an old school video game! Our volunteer mentors will host small discussion groups so you can "walk around" to join different conversations.

Just like we did with the in-person mentorship meetups, we're partnering with Women Who Code LA and other local meetup groups to make it a big party!

Huge thanks to WorkAdventure (https://workadventu.re/) for sponsoring this event!

How to join:

==================
What to bring:

  • A computer with a modern web browser, a microphone, and optionally a webcam ready for chatting!

  • You'll get the most out of this event if you come prepared with questions to ask! (Anything from career advice, code-specific questions, comparing tools/technologies/languages, advice on learning to code, etc.)

===================
Code of Conduct:

Since we're partnering with Women Who Code LA, we're also following the WWC code of conduct:
