What’s been happening in May…

A word from Mahsa…

🌟 Kia ora <<First Name>> 🌟

We’re almost halfway into the year and I must say, what a crazy year it has been! May has been an exhilarating month for She Sharp, filled with inspiring events and engaging connections! Let's dive into the highlights that made this month unforgettable.

Fitness and Innovation Unite! 🏋️‍♀️🧠

On May 9th, we teamed up with Les Mills New Zealand for an evening of fitness and innovation. Our speakers—Micayla Wright, Liz Miller, Effy Collis, Macy Ma, Rebecca Fox, Jessica Z., and Ramya Kommareddy—left us buzzing with new ideas and energy.

A Journey Across Sweden ✈️

From May 20th to 23rd, I travelled across Sweden, connecting with researchers and educators. We kicked off in Borås, discussing AI in education. In Varberg, we advocated for women in tech, and in Halmstad, we continued the conversation on diversity and inclusion in tech.

Stay Connected!

We have more exciting events and opportunities ahead. Follow us on social media for updates.

Thank you for being part of She Sharp. Together, we're driving innovation and fostering an inclusive tech community.
