Just Do Something

As I constantly talk about in my how-to-get-more-women-into-technology talks, we, the developers, the people who do this job, need to get out there and tell people what’s so great about what we do.

Some of the initiatives you can get involved in are collected here. Please mail me or get me on twitter (@trisha_gee) if you want to add anything to this list:

For Kids

Mentoring

Meet a Mentor - mentor undergraduates/graduates in London(ish). Always looking for mentors of any experience level

Networking

JUGs and other user groups - join a local JUG! There’s no better way to meet people who can mentor you, and influence you own peers. Being part of the London Java Community literally changed my life.

Attend and/or speak at events and conferences
