Thrive-WiSE / CodeChix is a CA non-profit public benefit organization dedicated to the education, promotion and mentorship of technical women in R&D (technical and PM ladders). We are a local group for women and men (although we concentrate more on women) meeting face-to-face and gadget-to-gadget in a non-alpha, language/os agnostic, supportive environment and creating great things. Please join us
here if you are a:
Female developer (please join us also on http://groupspaces.com/codechix)
Female or Male Project/Program/Product Manager
Supportive and open-minded MALE developer
Young person (>8 years old) aspiring to learn coding
We have been doing this since 2009 and were the first group of our kind. We have several types of events (posted on Eventbrite and on codechix.org) where we meet face-to-face and get to know each other:
1. Hacking sessions - We bring our ideas, projects and code together either as teams or individually and help/learn from each other. and develop friendships and learn about each others backgrounds. If interested, always looking for more co-organizers.
2. Tech Talks - We invite coders and technical leads to talk to us about their cool projects and share their knowledge with us. These are usually on a weekday evening and last approximately 2.5 hours
3. Workshops - Join us for 2 to 5 hours on a weekend to learn about a state-of-the-art tool or programming language to improve your skills. Workshops are taught by volunteer industry professionals and CodeChix members. They are hands-on and require you to bring your laptops.
