Girl Geek Dinner Ottawa with Serena Ngai

Have you heard of Girl Develop It Ottawa? It's a new community meetup founded by Serena Ngai and Gail Carmichael designed to provide women in Ottawa the opportunity to learn programming, all with the goal to create a stronger female tech community in the Nation's Capital.

• How technical skills can be valuable for your career
• Why this "women in technology" thing really matters
• What is Girl Develop It? And learn about upcoming workshops

About Serena

Serena Ngai is a front-end developer and designer with a background in software development, currently working at Shopify. She is passionate about mentoring and inspiring young females to explore fields of technology and its many different applications.

The idea of starting a Girl Develop It chapter in Ottawa was born out of frustration from hearing a lot of talk about the lack of women in technology, but not seeing a lot of action being done to get more involved! Follow Serena (@serenangai) and Girl Develop It Ottawa (@gdiottawa) on Twitter.
