+ Topic:
From learning earth science to struggling to break into tech, to eventually co-founding my own edtech startup, I just want to share 5 interesting things I learned along this journey so far!

+ Speakers:
Helen is an earth scientist turned product manager turned startup founder. After leaving her mark at companies such as Zynga, Microsoft, and Github, she's gone on to co-found Co.Lab, an education platform that upskills and empowers technologists with project-based, cross-functional learning. Helen is especially passionate about thought diversity, the power of learning by doing, and cute cats.
