Workshops
Workshops are for developing specific skills relating to hardware, software, networks, applications, etc., and they are facilitated by women with particular knowledge and skills, who are willing to share their knowledge with others. Workshops have an explicitly practical orientation.
PlayLabs
PlayLabs provide an opportunity for exploring technology in unusual ways and making experimental connections, such as subversive techniques in everyday life, what happens when women “hack” everyday objects?
Taking a more experimental, playful approach to technology, using it in ways other than originally intended, playlabs question the values and assumptions underlying these intentions and ask “What else can we do with this?” Playlabs are hands-on, experimental situations.
