3 reasons to celebrate Girl Develop It’s 4th anniversary

Next Friday, celebrate the Philly tech institution that is Girl Develop It.
The local arm of the women’s tech education nonprofit turns four this year.
Among its victories:

• Helping women make career changes into tech
• Training and empowering women to join the open source community
• Cultivating technology leaders on a local and national scale, like Girl Develop It’s executive director Corinne Warnshuis, who started as a local chapter leader and now speaks at national conferences like Dreamforce and Lesbians Who Tech, and LeeAnn Kinney, who started as a student and now teaches Girl Develop It classes and organizes events like the forthcoming ELA Conf and the Women in Tech Summit.

The GDI birthday party is from 6-9 p.m. on Oct. 23 at Pipeline (30 S. 15th St.).
