Part of the Women Techmakers Team GDG Jinja
The International Women's day  which is celebrated every year was held at Igar cafe Jinja and organized by the Women Techmakers Team from GDG Jinja. The theme for this year is Building a new Horizon, Many women are afraid of joining the technology industry because they believe it's masculine "Boys thing" but different awesome female speakers presented and left many of them inspired and motivated to join in technology. 

As a women Techmakers lead of Jinja I believe that women can not only use technology but they can also create it, they just need to know the impact of and use of technology in their careers. So to all my ladies out there be part of the Horizon lets work together and build a new Horizon.

Awesome Women Techmakers Team.
