Tech + Literacy - Web Chat and GIRL DEVELOP IT

Web Chat with MNABE is a quarterly webinar discussion hosted by Literacy Action Network and led by state ABE staff from the Minnesota Department of Education. Web Chat offers:

• An update from the state ABE office on new and emerging issues;

• An opportunity for local ABE staff to ask questions and provide information to the Minnesota Department of Education; and

• A chance to keep more regular conversations going with interested ABE administrators.

For those of you who will not be able to participate, we will record the Web Chats with MNABE; Literacy Action Network will post them on their website at www.literacyactionnetwork.org/supplemental-service-activities/web-chat-with-mnabe.

Meet GIRL DEVELOP IT! Women Developers and Programmers! 

Want to learn how to code? Have a great idea? Don't be shy. Develop it. 
"It can be intimidating for women to learn and ask questions when they are in an extreme minority. While open and welcoming, today's budding developer community is up to 91% male. There isn't a comfortable place where women can learn at their own pace and not be afraid to ask "stupid questions." We decided it was time to provide a place where all questions are OK and everyone can learn in a supportive environment. Our courses focus on coding, leveraging existing technology, and having something to show for it (aka building sweet websites)."

The group hosts a number of events including Toast and Tech every Tuesday. For more information about their awesome activities check out http://www.meetup.com/Girl-Develop-It-Minneapolis/.
