About Us
Lean-In, IIIT Bangalore is a club that fosters career development, skill-building and networking for women. We conduct sessions throughout the year. Our sessions are diverse and we have panel discussions, networking events, talks on open-source, research, competitive coding etc. Our main aim is to provide support to under-represented folks in the tech industry and empower them to break the proverbial glass ceiling. We support the inclusion and advancement of women at IIIT-B.
Interactive sessions
We conduct various sessions and workshops on Open Source programs, Research opportunities, Competitive programming and other domains of IT. These sessions cover a wide range of activities - resume building, getting started with open source and git, interview preparation tips, introduction to machine learning, data structures and coding, how to start a research career, reviewing applications etc.
Empowering Women in STEM
We also invite female speakers (ex: alumni) to deliver talks on their career (ex: how to build a startup). All these activities provide girls with various opportunities to interact with people from different technical backgrounds and explore multiple avenues for growth. Giving women equal opportunities and motivating them to thrive in STEM careers would help in reducing the gender gap that exists in this field. We wish to achieve this and build a diverse and talented community in tech.
