Bit by Bit Conference for High School Girls:
Bit by Bit is a free in-person conference for high school girls interested in computer science or tech. We believe that by gathering successful women with experiences to share, we can ensure that the female coders, entrepreneurs, and leaders of the future are prepared in an industry in which women are underrepresented. Our theme for 2024 is AI and ethics in AI and will take place at The Dalton School on Saturday April 6 from 10am - 2pm. Please use this link to sign up for our 2024 conference, and share with anyone you know who might be interested! ------------------------------
