YWiC and the Department of Computer Science at NMSU hosted the NM Celebration of Women in Computing Conference, in hand with the NM Girls Collaborative in C-STEM Kickoff conference, and it was AWESOME! There were SO many outstanding women in computing, technology, academia, K-12 informal and formal educators, STUDENTS... what an incredible experience! The final number is 171 attendees over the 2-day event. Now that is what I call INSPIRING!
The Collaboration Celebration (that we have fondly coined the event) boasted 9 research/technology workshops, 4 STEM talks, 2 social/cultural talks, 2 panels and panel discussions, 2 career workshops on resume writing and interview skills...
We learned from truly incredible women who are making big-time contributions to computing and tech and the non-profit world -- thank you, thank you, thank you!!
We networked with fellow undergraduate students, graduate students in CS, middle school students, and high school students, from over 20 schools and institutions!
And we Speed Networked, too! Now that was really incredible...!
