IWD Volunteering – Part 2

The back of a woman’s green t-shirt that says Girls’ Programming Network

Happy International Women’s Day! Today I spent the whole day at the Girls’ Programming Network event at UTS, where we taught 120+ girls how to code in Python. It was controlled chaos, but everybody had a ton of fun! At the last minute I got roped into giving the lecture on opening and working with files, but I smashed it and it seemed to land well. (I told them repeatedly that computers are dumb, which is always a crowd-pleaser.) I even got a shout out in one of the students’ end of day surveys! I also got to eat an entire Dominoes garlic bread all by myself, so… best day ever. ❤️

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
