Code & Coffee

Hi everyone!

Our September Meetup is on the 22nd.

SCHEDULE:

6:30pm: Drink coffee, eat timbits and mingle!

6:45pm: Short Talks:

Heather Booker (@heatherbooker (https://github.com/heatherbooker)) – The Confidence Gap

An exploration of how self-assurance might be influencing the gender disparity in tech.

Anna Wang (@AnnaWca (https://twitter.com/AnnaWca)) – Sense Soccer Tweets with Science

How the use of data science and Twitter Streaming API allow us to view and analyze people's emotions towards the Portugal vs France finals during the course of the game.

Shawn Mckay (@Sh_McK (https://twitter.com/Sh_McK)) – Coding to Learn

A look into interactive coding education tools, with an introduction to CodeRoad - an open-source coding tutorial platform built inside of the Atom Editor.

7:30pm: Work/discussion period (for technology passion projects)

8:30pm: Thank you everyone!

Our talks are quick 10-15 minute presentations. We welcome speaker submissions from developers of any experience level. We require that speaker topics fall within the technology realm (ie. this is not the place to pitch a business idea). If you would like to speak at a future event, please send us a message or talk to us at one of the events. Check out our speaker's package here: http://github.com/Code-and-Coffee-YVR/Speaker-Package

MUST HAVE: A positive attitude and zero tolerance for stereotypes. (See our Code of Conduct).
