Technology for Good: the engineering stories behind meaningful change
We are excited to host our next in-person event at HENNGE!
WiSE JP is focused on empowering diverse women in Japan to succeed in technology careers. Technology for Good brings together engineering stories from projects addressing meaningful real-world challenges.
Through deep-dive talks and community lightning talks, speakers will take us behind the technology: the problems they set out to solve, what they built, the technical decisions and trade-offs they encountered, and what they learned along the way.
The evening will feature two deep-dive talks and community lightning talks, bringing together different perspectives on how technology and engineering can be applied to meaningful problems.
Enjoy food and drinks while networking with like-minded professionals. Connect with other women and allies who share your passion for technology.
