Hello and welcome to a new episode of Hacker Public Radio.
I'm still in the middle of a field with a dog recording this on my phone.
So if it's here lots of wind noises and pops and apologies but there we go.
It's the first of March and yesterday.
It's the first of March and yesterday my original plan was to go to a Cambridge Raspberry Jam.
But they saw that at tickets.
So we did our next best thing which was we decided we went to the Centre for Public Computing.
Also in Cambridge.
Great day.
Super fun time.
It was great seeing all computers I had as a kid.
Playing the games that I used to play.
And trying to work out why I could not get to the past level one of the neighborhoods.
I used to do that every time.
That was a kid.
I tried to code on a BBC micro.
And realizing that the keyboard layer is changed.
It's shift keys in the wrong place.
It's one figure that's what was there.
It was a lot of problems in the space about prominent women in computing.
And I think that was great.
It's great to read and learn about these pioneers.
Historically computing has some figure of an image problem.
It is seen by many as a boy's club.
And I really want people to challenge that notion.
There is nothing in parenting computing that sort of says this is just for girls or this is just for boys.
It's just a thing and you can get into it or not.
It's with that in mind that I'm going to plug and the event that's happening.
He will run here in various events.
27th of March 6 p.m.
That's the west of a college.
They've got an event called Women in Digital and Games.
So get ready to connect, learn and be inspired at this awesome in person event.
Celebrating amazing women in the digital and games industries.
Wherever you're a student, professional, just curious.
Come hang out, hear stories and boost your network.
Don't miss that on an empowering evening field of energy and inspiration.
And I'm going to say this sounds like it could be a very interesting event.
If you're young woman interested in getting into computing is unsure.
Then does literally no barrier to this.
The ticket is free, just turn up hear the stories.
Hear what people's experiences are like working in computing and in games and in technology.
I'm sure you're going to find it inspiring.
And this could be the stepping stone.
The thing that sets you up on your incredible careers.
As I mentioned, tick to free.
It's something to be able to come last for about two hours.
It takes a free links on the event, right links on the show notes.
And I hope if you do to attend that you have an inspiring evening.
And if you do so, maybe record an episode of faculty probably read you all about it.
In the meantime, take care.
Join some of our brand new episodes of faculty probably read you.
It's going to be about something completely different.
But what I do not know is not the thrill.
Anyway, take care. Bye now.
