Lesbians Who Tech (and friends) Austin // August Meetup [PRIDE WEEK]

Come join us for our monthly happy hour at Cheer ups! First 50 people with receive a free drink thanks to Dev Bootcamp. Lesbians Who Tech is a community of queer women in tech (and allies) that started in San Francisco in December 2012. Since then, we’ve built a community of over 15,000 queer women in 35 cities, including 5 international cities. Dev Bootcamp is a 19 week immersive coding school that turns beginners into career-ready full-stack web developers. Dev Bootcamp is committed to removing barriers that typically prevent marginalized communities from entering, and remaining in, careers in software development. Dev Bootcamp's goal is to create a pathway for people, regardless of technical, educational or personal background, to gain the coding skills they need to land well-paying jobs. Dev Bootcamp's original curriculum series, Engineering Empathy, is designed to help Dev Bootcamp students address issues of gender, racial, and educational bias head-on. They have also joined forces with Lesbians Who Tech to provide scholarships for LGBTQ women to learn to code, the scholarships will be announced in August.
