===🎤 TALKS 🎤===
TALK 1

"Seeing the world through Pythonic lenses" by Iulia Avram
(15 mins) When starting a new project, the programming language is almost an afterthought for me. Because I will probably (obviously) use Python. From painting to games to astronomy, it is a versatile choice. Not only that, but it's the first programming language many of us learned, the first world we unlocked when we joined the tech community.
Therefore, I want to praise all the good things Python represents and mention some ways it could be even better. This talk is an ode to my favourite programming language and the many hobbies it fuelled.

ABOUT IULIA
Iulia is a mainly backend software developer that is currently working on a project involving subscriptions and payments. She likes algorithmic puzzles and learning basic syntax in a bunch of programming languages just to pick up Python again and again with renewed fervour. https://twitter.com/iulyaav

TALK 2

"Chatting due to Python" by Olha Rukshyna
(10 mins) Chat bot built with Python

TALK 3

"Matchmaking for Coders! And why 1+1=3!" by Isabella Hoesch
(15 mins)Teaching yourself to code can be extremely lonely and inefficient! Learn how an accountability partner can make the difference to your coding-journey and how pair-programming can boost your efficiency. Working with a peer can not only result in great projects for your portfolio … sharing the coding adventure expands your network and often results in a long-lasting friendship.
Join in for a lightning talk about Productivity and Goal achievement in the tech space.

ABOUT Isabella
Isabella is a foremost self-taught coder who started her career as a behavioural data scientist in a tech company in the silicon valley. Shifting into tech with a business degree confronted her with all the difficulties of self-teaching to code.
Seeing how many aspiring coders struggle to keep motivated and to reach their learning-goals, inspired her to found Codum, a platform that matches coders world-wide for effective and collaborative goal-achievement. https://www.codum.cc

TALK 4

"Molecules of Love" by Marija Sorokina
(15 mins) I will give a short talk about how love is governed by chemistry

ABOUT Marija
I have studied chemistry in Graz, Austria, and in Munich. Since 2 years I am a Ph.D. cadidate in computational biochemistry in Halle
