Girl Geek Dinners

A couple of months ago I went to a meeting for people working in IT. This kind of meeting takes place in almost every country in the world the first friday of the month. There were around 15 guys and 1 girl: myself. It was interesting enough altough I was the only one asked many times about my job or which system I was able to work on, etc. Actually I did not like just that I was the only female, absurd...!!!

Since fortunately I'm not the only female in the world working in IT, after a while I realized that other girls have similar experiences and they're organizing dinners across the world for whom is interested in, but especially for girls. They say "we want to make technology accessible and interesting to all age groups and all people… no matter what age, gender etc. We have grand plans for conferences, vlogs and who knows what else"

It sounds really exciting to me!! we'll see....
