Testimonials

“I learned that the knowledge about even the most basic human rights are important to be aware how we approach to our careers and the technology.”

“The hands on python work (particularly valuable to be in such small groups with women who use this in the day to day), and the networking opportunities was most valuable.”

“Interesting to see that you don’t need to know by heart how to code or know everything but more understand the logic.”

“The workshop combined practical skills in data analytics with insights on building confidence and effective communication in STEM, It was motivating to connect with women from diverse backgrounds, all passionate about advancing in tech.”

“This kind of exchange with positive and dynamic women is really necessary in a society very individual, whatever is the Generation, I think it's a really good thing.”

“I’m very interested in the topic and for sure I will continue to learn about it.”

“Amazing experience and lovely community, thank you 🙏”

“Thanks a lot for this workshop and the opportunity to exchange with experts present, very valuable and empowering experience.”

“It was great event for networking as well. I would like to thank to the people who organized and partake in it.”

“This workshop has truly been a source of inspiration, and I’m excited to continue building on the skills and confidence I gained.”

“It was an incredible experience for us! The event was specifically designed for women looking to enhance their professional skills and gain a competitive edge in the job market. The supportive atmosphere and beginner-friendly approach made learning so enjoyable.”
