Coding Grace are a group of developers based in Ireland who love to code and do other geeky and not necessarily crafty activities. Some of us code full-time, or just for fun (or both). We have people who are part of other technical user groups such as Dublin ALT.NET We provide female-friendly workshops and events in an environment for developers and aspiring developers mentored by diverse instructors Where many events tend to have more males than females, we aim to encourage many females to come along to our workshops and learn to code and more. We also encourage any females who want to mentor technical material to help out, it’s not that scary after all. It doesn’t matter if you are learning or mentoring, gaining confidence to ask questions, helping others, which results in everyone learning from each other gives females in this field the encouragement to further their careers, attend technical conferences, or even give a We aim to provide a support network for people from all backgrounds and hope our outreach will help bring those who are interested in code I found the format really helpful and engaging. It's great to play around (I love being told to break the code) and know that you're not your Saturday engaged in techy altruism. — Kathryn Daniel, Introduction to Python Workshop (Part 1) Coding Grace is an homage to Grace Hopper. She is a computer scientist who held one of the highest ranks in the US Navy, the Rear Admiral. She created the term debug, literally removing a moth from a computer. She also developed COBOL. Another interesting tidbit, she was awarded the inaugural Computer Scientist Man of the Year award in 1969 from the Data Processing Management As*ociation. Amazing Grace also had a U.S. Navy destroyer named after her called USS Hopper. The organisers and mentors are all volunteers and charge nothing for helping out. This is what we do with the money charged from ticket chapters of Coding Grace Receipts for expenses are all kept digitally.
