If our creative code workshop sparked an interest, but left you thinking 'well hey now, what's next?', or if you spent all your higher education funds on smashed avo- then perhaps give this a squizz.
You've got nothing to loose really.....

Google is partnering with Women Techmakers to launch a series of global events geared towards increasing visibility, community, and resources for technical women in our industry.

Some cheeky Belugas had a crack at whipping up a website after getting around some JavaScript (NodeGirls Sydney)
It'll take you 2 seconds to learn something new about this US street fight. Sorry. Election.

Hey you. Yes you. Beluga who can code.
We found a fun code game (they exist). You can learn about flex-boxes. Aka, the invisible boxes that make things stay where they damn well should when you adjust the size of your webpage.
They're hella important.
Also. Cute frog.

We promised you floppy signs, but it was so much more. We're talking fancy buildings (IAccelerate), vanilla slice (The Gumnut Patisserie), tiny, drawing robots that hypnotise (Mel Chapman), games that make witches hats fall out of the sky (Alex James Montgomery), webpages that call you names (Ane GB) and sunbaked rooftop BBQ eats (UOW Wellbeing).

Thanks to everyone who came to help (Polygon Door, Devika Learning, NodeGirls Sydney), code, learn & scissor-paper-rock. An extra BIG thanks to Yours & Owls for making all of these fun times happen. You dun good.

To all our creative coding Belugas, we simply cannot. wait. to. see you.

YOU SHOULD ALL HAVE AN EMAIL IN YOUR INBOX that you'll need to actually read, and you will also all need to bring computers along on the day (if you don't have one, we can sort you out, but need to know asap!)

We have a song gift for you (nothing implied, just a good song).
See you Sat ;)

This dev joke makes as much sense to us as a phone with no earphone jack.
If you don't get it either, come along to our code event, and get in on the joke. (We're just assuming that it's probably hilarious)

Belugas! We're getting all of the warm fuzzies because we think our friends Sifters and Forever Projects are tip top humans.

Make sure you swing by SIFTERS this weekend and grab yourself some eats where 50% of profits will be donated to Forever Projects empowerment projects in Tanzania.

Plus, there will be street art, music, and other delightful goodies. Yahoo!

Big news for Wollongong peeps - Sifters have invited us over next weekend and are amazingly donating 50% of profits to empowerment projects in Tanzania. We've invited a few friends to be a part of it. Come and grab a coffee and bacon butty and hang out with us
