​ 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.
