About us
Anyone, of any age and skill level is welcome at our Meetup, you just need to be keen to learn! The aim is to introduce you to the tech world, even if you have never done anything like it before.
One of the biggest barriers to entering the tech space is feeling intimidated by how technical the work seems, and the fact that you may never have coded before. No worries! We have a mix of tech topics and soft skill topics, so there's something for everyone.
Let us teach you the basics in a relaxed and fun environment where everyone is as new as you are.

Systems Thinking: How Great Questions Build Great Software
What to expect
Great systems start with great questions, not great code. The clearest requirement can still hide the assumption that breaks everything later.
Des and Suné explore what Systems Thinking is, why every feature and requirement is part of a bigger system, and how better questions help you cut assumptions and build software that lasts.
Speakers - Tasneem Majeed & Jessica-Bianca Cordier
