Details

Join us for our virtual mixer where tech industry professionals volunteer to answer your questions and share their wisdom! Total beginners are especially welcome! :)

We'll meet in WorkAdventure, a virtual event space that's like a video game but with video chat -- this way, our volunteer mentors will host small discussion groups so you can "walk around" to join different conversations. (Thank you WorkAdventure (https://workadventu.re/) for sponsoring us!) We also host this event in partnership with Women Who Code LA!

==================
How to join:

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

  • A computer with a up-to-date 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/languages, etc.)

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

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