Dare 2 Be Digital needs Proctors & other Volunteers

Several women who are working on Dare 2 Be Digital attended She’s Geeky last weekend. They are looking for volunteers.

This one-day event, held February 27th from 9-4 on the Foothill College campus in Los Altos Hills, is designed to provide middle school and high school girls with a better understanding of what a career in technology is all about.  During the event, students interact with members of the industry to gain exposure to careers in business and technology and to get an inside look at what it’s like to work in technology. This exciting event provides girls with information about technology and business roles, thought-provoking exercises, and interesting hands-on experience. By participating in the Dare 2B Digital event, young women can find out about the variety of opportunities available in the high-tech industry and can explore future career paths. You will be making it possible for these girls to have a great, positive experience with technology that could help to mold their future.

The workshops are hands on and there will be instructors for 25-30 girls.  They also want to have  proctors for every 5-6 girls to help out.

Proctoring is: supporting a hands-on class by working with the one or two instructors in the classroom. Proctors help participants (girls) to be successful in their activities in the class. Proctors can just ’show up’ on class day / time if their time is constrained.

If proctors would like to do more preparation they can:
1) request to proctor a specific session – session list is
2) request that the instructor send the session info to them in advance
3) listen to a recorded train-the-trainer session
4) attend a train-the-trainer session on the day before (Fri, Feb 26) two sessions am 10am – 11:30 or
1:30 to 3:00

Want to get involved?  We are looking for volunteers to help in many areas! And in case you were wondering – we want to also demonstrate diversity in our volunteers so we want to emphasize that everyone is welcome. There are various roles and time commitments to accommodate schedules:

Directional Sign Setup: Place signs the morning of the event directing traffic to the correct parking areas.

Parking Attendants: Positioned at the parking lot entrance and along the walk to the registration area, direct people where to go, and make sure that the girls have their signed waivers with them.

Morning Greeters: Assist with Check In, Distribution on Name Tags and Interacting with Early Arrivals

Lunch Monitors: Ensure everyone is fed and happy.  Answer any questions the girls may have.

Group Leaders: After the general sessions, the students will be divided into groups. The group leader will escort the students to the technology sessions.

Lab Assistants / Proctors: We will have a number of Technology Sessions. Each hands-on session will have a lead presenter. Additional volunteers are needed to assist with hands on activities.

Room Monitors: Ensure rooms are secure and that we don’t run into any problems with hardware being left unattended.

End of Day Dismissal: An important part of the day – You can help by collecting surveys and handing out t-shirts.

Cleanup After Event: After the event, we will need help taking down signs, putting classrooms back in order if anything was moved, and making sure that we leave the campus at least as clean as it was when we got there.

Pre-event Setup: (3 hour Commitment on Feb 19th from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM) These folks will be responsible for helping setup for the event including stuffing bags, rolling shirts, etc.

Please send an email to our volunteer coordinator at dare2bdigital@gmail.com to let us know in which roles you are interested and for which days you can participate. Also make sure to let us know if there is anything that you would not like to do so we can make sure you are doing something you enjoy.

DRESS CODE: Casual, but remember that you are acting as a role model to the girls in attendance. All volunteers will have a name badge, and will be given t-shirt at the event to make them easy to spot. In order to make sure you get a shirt your size, please register as a volunteer as soon as possible.

Many, Many Thanks!

Amazing She’s Geeky #5! Bay Area #3.

Last weekend was amazing. It was the first time She’s Geeky was three full days, Friday January 29th to Sunday January 31st.  We chose to extend it to three days because women who were technical asked us to, because many of them could not get off work for Friday and wanted 2 days of unconference time.   We had one women who was at our NYC event and one from our DC event fly out for this conference.

We are still working on getting sessions into our wiki. Several women covered the conference on their blogs:

Yahoo! Developer Network folks attended Havi and Erin along with Erin’s daughters Cady and Grace. Lynn Langit, a developer evangelist at MSFT, led a session on teaching kids to program that her kids attended and loved :) .

At our session, we showed participants how to play the Social Mania Game, a social patterns card game that allows you to build products, gain points for great features, and eventually ‘pitch’ your completed product to the player representing a VC. The game was fun, of course, but the feedback we got was the great benefit. Erin and Christian Crumlish created Social Mania to teach people about social patterns and as a complement to their book, Designing Social Interfaces. Since the game is still in beta, some of the suggestions made at She’s Geeky may make it into future revisions.

Wanda Henning has an extensive post explaining the process:

Let me describe, in brief, the format.

You arrive. You get your biodegradable name tag. You sit on one of the chairs arranged several rows deep in a circle. You order coffee or mocha of your choice (from the only man in the place) and help yourself to bagels, muffins and other breakfast snacks (sponsored).

Then Hamlin does the rounds with her mic and you introduce yourself with the words “I’m geeky because ….

Vabulus writes:

Unlike most conferences, guess that’ s why it’s called an “un-conference,” Kaliya Hamlin invited us to share our names, twitter handles, professions, and “Why we’re geeky.”  It was so awesome to realize that boys were not the only ones messing around in their rooms trying to develop video games or software, most of these women were doing the very same thing.

….

The next day, Saturday, I was asked by my fellow carpool geeks if I was going to present.  I hadn’t thought about it, but I wasn’t really sure what I would talk about.  I kept thinking about it until we arrived in Mountain View.  After we went around the circle introducing ourselves again that Saturday morning at She’s Geeky, and Kaliya made the announcement to rush to the middle to write a discussion topic, I did it.  I wrote something, then announced it, then put it on the board, then freaked out the entire day.  First one woman came, then there were two, and at the end there were five of us.  Small, but cool, because I don’t know if I could have handled a larger crowd, although more experts would have been cool to bounce ideas off each other.

TechBunny Writes:

Not only was this event filled with a collection of fantastic women with a variety of tech interests that I can’t even begin to list, it was a great opportunity to learn new tips and tricks for soft skills that aren’t always high on the “geekdom” list! Practicing the “elevator pitch”, improving your speaking skills and discussing how to manage transition as tech roles evolve were some of the sessions on agenda wall today.

Sunshine did a podcast from She’s Geeky with organizer Kaliya Hamlin.

and posted on her blog.

She’s Geeky is part of a larger “unconference” movement, in which folks are thinking about how to tap into human ways of relating that yield new and energizing results.

…

What struck me about this was how similar this “offline” event was to the way that my online life now functions. I went to a meeting or panel, and then if I met someone with whom I clicked in some way, we took our conversation over to a table, sat down and chatted further. Then we stood up and joined the larger stream. It worked beautifully, and it made me wonder if our culture’s obsession with structure, leadership, and climbing the ladder may be crumbling in the face of these more natural and creative ways of connecting with others.

Cootie Catcher by banane:

The more I thought of it, the more things started to make sense. Games are great introductions into programming, as they’re fun and interesting, interactive, and a great career option. Anything that shows the “genie behind the curtain” is useful, but games where the overall architecture and construct is simple and well-known helps. The girls told me the rules quickly and easily, almost as if I was stupid.

View from the Cubicle Farm:

I usually avoid all-women events, for reasons I haven’t clearly understood myself.  However, this event exceeded my expectations.    The conference was completely user-generated and fairly unscheduled, yet we covered a broad variety of intriguing topics.  Everyone came to the table with a different piece of information and different perspective to add to the conversation, yet we all had technology geekiness in common.  We created a worthwhile event based on our own experiences and research.  In that sense, it was almost as if the whole unconference was the embodiment of a wiki.

More posts will be coming with feedback from She’s Geeky and notes updates :)

Collaboration: Women Techie’s Booth at SXSW

She’s Geeky is primarily an unconference that brings different women in Science Technology Engineering and Math groups together in various cities across the country.   In this spirit of collaboration we are working with several different women in tech groups to have a joint booth at SXSW.  So far there are 4 groups along with She’s Geeky are committed -  DevChix, LinuxChix, Anita Borg Institute &  Women 2.0

Update – Astia, Women Who Tech, Digital Sistas and NCWIT have also joined in.

Update – CodeChix and GirlsInTech have joined the booth.

If you run a women in tech group group and want to be a part of the booth please contact us info@shesgeeky.org and we will get in touch with you with details.

Each group is chipping in a small amount of money so we can all afford to have a presence at the event together.  Each group will have their logo on a banner, a logo, link and blurb in a “meta-brochure” that will cover all of the different groups in the booth & the ability to put out group specific brochure-ware. You don’t have to have anyone from your group in attendance at SXSW to participate. Contributing to the both does not cover your admission to the conference.

She’s Geeky DC Blog coverage

There have been several posts covering She’s Geeky DC. Amelia McHenry covered the conference for Con-Techie She described how the conference worked has several photos from throughout tSavehe day and then went on to describe sessions.

The first session I attended had was entitled “Women on panels at conferences: Should we employ affirmative action or not?” The group presented challenges that have historically faced women becoming “accepted” experts in their field. We then discussed strategies to create the self esteem and confidence needed in order to be comfortable marketing ourselves to conferences.

Day 2 was an adventure. We found out when we got to the venue that something had happened and the power to the whole building had been cut the previous evening.  With over 70 people coming and a whole wall of windows along the lobby we decided we could make a go of it.  Her post on Con-Techie is here.

Acts of Faith covered it today on her blog.

I thought it was interesting how we could have dozens of women of all backgrounds here but the biggest tech conference organizers claim they can’t “find” any women speakers. Now Mashable claims they can’t “find” any bloggers of color to write for them. Uh oh somebody’s nose is growing…

The American Association of University Women attended and posted this last week:

In many sessions, attendees expressed the concern that, although women and girls have made significant progress in STEM, they are still underrepresented in certain fields and that barriers to their full participation remain. This position was validated during a session focused on women in technology. Many participants said they have attended other tech conferences and found that speakers and panelists are predominantly men. There was a resounding plea for recruiting women to present at technology conferences.

AAUW is committed to improving the number of women and girls in the STEM fields. We work with the National Girls Collaborative Project, which brings together organizations that are committed to informing and encouraging girls to pursue careers in STEM. AAUW’s other partners in the project include the Puget Sound Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology; Assessing Women and Men in Engineering; and the Education Development Center.

AAUW’s upcoming 2010 research report will highlight key findings from recent research on women and girls in STEM at three stages: in middle and high school, in college, and in the workplace
