⋆. how to find tech communities ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Having a good supportive community while learning can be super helpful! It's always nice to be able to find a group of individuals who are also going through the same thing you are. Here are some ways I have found communities in the tech sphere ヽ(◕ᴥ◕)ﾉ

Meetup Meetup creates possibilities to find and build local communities who share your interests! Here's an example of some groups I've joined:

Newsletters Newsletters are also a great way to get information about cool events/meetups happening in the tech space ☆.｡.:* I am personally subscribed to Lizzie, she posts about events happening in Sf and NY. (you don't actually have to subscribe to read her current and past posts, just hit the "no thanks" under the entry box)

Twitter Many companies or dev advocates/community builders who work at x company will post a ton about upcoming meetups hosted by them! So I highly recommend you find a company or community you'd like to be a part off and follow them on twitter (▰˘◡˘▰) here are some I follow: SFClimateWeek ReactMiamiConf DevsNDumps SeattleJS GirlCode PayPalDev RenderATL Postman AhmadAwais Whitep4nth3r Official_GDC LWJShow GitHubEducation WomenTechmakers hackclub hacktoberfest femtechconf cassidoo pwic_org lesbiantech OutInTech PrideinSTEM GoogleStudents CodeNewbies

Discord There are sooooo many amazing huge communities on discord for each community within tech, here are some I recommend: DesignBuddies: focus is on ux/ui designers, ux research, pm, graphic design LearnWLeon(100Devs): HUGE community of beginner to intermediate software devs. It's also a completely free bootcamp! DiscordDevs: discords server is a great place to learn about different discord features to better help you navigate other servers you join. You also can get 1on1 help with building discord bots which is such a fun thing to work on! My Server: I try really hard to curate a welcoming and helpful community. If you ever need any help with hw, projects, or even general tech career help we're all super down to help ʕっ•‿•ʔっ

I hope this helps ♡

So grateful to know the members of this amazing community of queer women and gender-transcendent people. Honored to work for this team. 12 days until your favorite community of feminist hackers, female executives, high femme data scientists, trans software engineers, genderfluid infrastructure innovators, and good old fashioned butch lesbian entrepreneurs circle up the wagons to talk #technology and the #resistance at the 4th Annual #LWTSUMMIT in #SanFrancisco. Excited? See you soon, fam. #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #multiracial #multigenerational #diverse #techdiversity #womenintech #transtech #lgbtintech #lgbtqintech #queerintech #shepersisted #lesbiansofig #dykesofig #instagay #lwtsquad #lwtaustin #lwtstronger #LWT (at Castro Theatre)
