Women in Science and Engineering Boot Camp

Due in part to a generous donation made by J.P. Morgan to NumFOCUS, we are pleased to announce that NumFOCUS will be collaborating with Software Carpentry to host a series of  boot camps to offer training for women in technology. The first, a boot camp for 120 women in science and engineering, will be held at the Microsoft Research Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts on June 24-25.

About

The goal of this event is to help scientists and engineers become more productive by teaching them basic computing skills like program design, version control, testing, and task automation. In this two-day boot camp, short tutorials will alternate with hands-on practical exercises.
The boot camp is open to female graduate students, post-docs, faculty members, staff scientists, or their equivalent in science, engineering, medicine, or a related field in academia, industry, or the public and non-profit sectors.
