Happy women's day ladies in Tech!

Happy women’s day women in Openmrs, How I wish we used this day to enlighten female students about the myriad career opportunities within STEM fields, encourage them to pursue STEM-related courses which are male dominated, and provide education on the relevance of technology in today’s work culture. I am so glad to have been part of the techsters who participated in a drive.

Qn: “Where can we access resources for STEM education?”

Ans: Libraries, online platforms e.g. Cousera, freecodecamp, Udemy, etc, community programs. Additionally, organizations like Tech4Dev offer workshops, mentorship programs and scholarships so you don’t have to limit your potential.

Thank you for posting this @jwnasambu!! :bouquet: :muscle: :woman_student: :woman_scientist: :woman_technologist: :woman_astronaut:

I learned about a new resource today: https://www.shecodes.io/ Online coding workshops specifically for women.

They have a foundation arm that will cover the cost for eligible women too: https://www.shecodesfoundation.org/

I notice they also say they have workshops sometimes in many countries our community members call home, including Uganda: https://www.shecodesfoundation.org/uganda
