San Diego RailsBridge Workshop for Women is a day and a half FREE workshop that will take students through building a complete web application using Ruby on Rails. By the end of the workshop, you'll have an application on the internet that connects to a database and reads and writes information. We'll meet up Friday night to install all of the software you need, and then spend Saturday, the workshop day learning and writing code. RailsBridge workshops focus on providing opportunities for underrepresented populations in tech. This is an Outreach to Women Workshop. It is emphatically LGBTQQIP2SAA friendly. If you are not a member of an underrepresented group, you can attend as a student if you're the guest of someone who is a member of the workshop's target population. The workshop provides an opportunity for you to participate in outreach efforts and encourage someone to attend with you who might not otherwise come. We need volunteers! Skill level for volunteers can be broad: anywhere from just a few months of Rails programming experience to senior level software engineers. Volunteers Can: - Teach a class! - Don’t worry, we provide the curriculum, which you can check out here: http://docs.railsbridge.org/intro-to-rails/ - TA a class! - If you don’t want to be center stage, no worries, we need your help keeping an eye on the students’ progress and helping students when they get stuck! - Guide participants in getting their dev environment installed during the Installfest! - Help us eat and drink free food and beer! - That’s right - we provide pizza and beer on Friday evening and breakfast and lunch on Sunday! Not to mention a free round of drinks at the afterparty! - And there’s onsite childcare for any students and volunteers that want it! Becoming a Railsbridge Volunteer is easy - just sign up on the Railsbridge SD registration page: https://www.bridgetroll.org/events/342 Opportunities are also available for Railsbridge Sponsorship! Railsbridge SD runs on sponsorship - the teaching, meals, childcare, and afterparty are all possible because of our sponsors! Sponsoring Railsbridge is a great way to get your company’s name out to the community and to demonstrate that you value diversity in the tech industry! Shout Out to our sponsors: AppFolio, Learn Academy, and Procore! If YOU want to add your name to that list, please email Lisa ( [email protected])! Help Us Spread the Word! If you know someone who would be a good fit to attend the Railsbridge workshop, encourage them to sign up at: https://www.bridgetroll.org/events/342! Those not of an underrepresented group can also join but ONLY as a guest of the workshop’s target population! -- -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SD Ruby" group.
