Description:
Rails Girls is a global initiative to organize 2-day Ruby programming workshops for women.
As part of our cooperation, I was responsible for organizing workshops in Wrocław at the headquarters of the Monterail company. To achieve this goal, together with my 3-person team, we cooperated with many companies that agreed to be our sponsors. We were responsible for the training budget, preparing gifts for mentors and participants, organizing meals, lists of participants and mentors, and preparing the agenda of the event and the workshop part.
My motivation to organize the workshop was the belief that for many women it could be a turning point in their professional careers. Many of them needed additional support - not only in terms of competence but also mental, which helped them start a career in IT.
