Code Savvy Presents

Web3 has become quite a buzzword as of late - but what is it? What isn't it? And why are people so into it? In this interview with Web3 enthusiast, Chelsea Chung, you'll learn a little more about this next iteration of the internet, in all of its multimedia, decentralized glory. 

In this episode of Code Savvy Presents, we hear from three different Technovation[MN] teams about their experience this year during the challenge.  The girls will wrap up their season on May 21st, 2022 with a live pitch event and a huge party in the park to celebrate a job well done!    Find out more information:  https://www.technovationmn.org  #AppDevelopment #ComputerScience #GirlsinTech

This episode is a bit different - For Autism Awareness Month, we have a very candid and frank discussion with Lindsey "Lux" Stupica, MN Woman in Tech, Animator, Designer, Mermaid, and recently diagnosed with Autism.  Warning for those who are sensitive to discussions about heavy topics like mental health, drug use, and eating disorders, you may want to sit this episode out. 

Code Savvy has been managing the Technovation[MN] Challenge for years - we have now established an alumni "Ambassadors" program that allows experienced girls to give back to a whole new generation of participants!   Happy International Women's Day!   https://www.technovationmn.org   This episode sponsored in part through a partnership with https://www.girlswhocode.com  #IWD2022 #BuildCommunity #GirlsWhoCode

We recently sat down with two Women in Tech, Casie Siekman and Jenn Bonine, to discuss their experience working with open-source technology, the open-source community, and the work they’ve been a part of that challenges stereotypes, all in hopes to get more people involved in the open-source movement and technology in general.
