Wearehere, a single entity representing seven outreach organisations for women in STEM, will host an ‘unconference’ in the Science Gallery in Dublin this weekend to explore learning through failure and recognise this is part of the journey to success.
The unFAIL event will close out the Science Gallery’s Fail Better exhibition on Saturday, 26 April. In true unconference style, the speakers and sessions will be decided on the day and sessions will range from formal to informal.
The event has been organised by Ireland’s Girl Geek Dinner chapter, Women in Technology and Science (WITS), AskATon, DigiWomen, Coding Grace, PyLadies Dublin and CoderDojoGirls under the umbrella group Wearehere, which held its first event in November last year.
Visitors to unFAIL can expect peer-to-peer learning, discussions on personal experiences of failure, collaboration and creativity. The event is expected to attract both male and female entrepreneurs, tech developers and digital marketers.
