Coding Grace October Newsletter & Upcoming events

After a mad August, September has been quiet on workshops, but we've been busy organising and partnering in events for October. I've recently started part-time as Career Zoo's tech and diversity workshop consultant, and also part-timing with Dogpatch Labs to help with their community strategy.
I'm excited to say that I'm involved in a few events and we also have a couple of Coding Grace workshops coming up this month.

Ada Lovelace Day will be here in 2 weeks. If anyone wants to organise events for it, check out findingada.com for more info.

#CoderGirlHackDay is back this year, there's even a track for parents/guardians, for those who want to learn about Python.

If you are interested in helping, please register as a mentor here.

Here's some links of interest that I pinned for this month. Do let me know if you want me to include a link to share with folks.

Any enquiries or if you want to help, please email contact@codinggrace.com.

Thanks,

/// Vicky
