About Event

WOMEN & NONBINARY HACK NIGHT

We Continue our Open-Source AI workshop from last week with a focus on Vector Databases and RAG with inspiration from Octavia Butler, science fiction goddess.

We will focus of course on open-sourced models and also see if it’s not too hard to get an open-sourced generative AI model on a raspberry pi for hardware hacking projects.

IN-PERSON WHITEBOARDING BECAUSE WE’RE HUMAN

This will be an in-person, face-to-face evening, although you are free to come and do some hardware hacking on another project.

We will be primarily whiteboarding to get the conversations free and flowing! Topics range from open-source standards, representation of women in culture, cute stuffed animals to soldering and electronics!

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE HACK NIGHT

The Sudo Room, creative community and hackerspace at Omni Commons, invites all Women/NB people for “WNB Coding/Hacking Night”: bring your computer and a coding project and have fun! We can help each other if you have coding/hacking-related questions/bugs or just keep company while hacking! If you are a beginner, we can help you get started (even if you’ve never coded before!). And if you’re an intermediate programmer looking for a challenge, we can help you find problems to work on.

NO COMPUTER?

No problem: we can provide one for the night. Coders/Hackers of all abilities are welcome! All coding languages are welcome! Bringing a WNB friend is highly recommended. Join in person if you’re in Oakland or online anywhere else in the world!

The idea is also to be a safe space for WNB in the tech world, besides promoting empowerment, also to provide emotional support for those facing challenges in a work environment, tech job search or anything else related.
