Of course as soon as I type up a list of my recent finds of women in tech sites Huffington Post goes and makes a better one. This covers a lot of the biggies. Ones I have my eye on helping with (or following in the footsteps of) once I have more street cred.

My dream at this point is to definitely get my hands dirty, start small with volunteering, and someday teach/advocate for women in tech and STEM in general.

I’ve spent the past few week inundating my friend Ava, the one who starts Hackbright on Monday, with women in tech articles and sites online. She suggested I try to collect them all in one place, so here we go:

Big Sites:

• Ada Initiative - Conferences, lobbying, mentoring. Lots of good stuff. Articles and video on Impostor Syndrome.
• Systers - I just joined their mailing list. Lots of interesting discussions. Some of them don’t really apply to me, but it’s all inspiring. I really want to go to the Grace Hopper Celebration someday.
• Skillcrush - Articles and teachables by women for women. Ava especially loved the Confusion is your friend blog post.
• Women 2.0 - All sorts of career/education/tech stuff for women.
• She’s Geeky - General geekiness for women, lots of rotating meetings/‘unconferences’.

• ChickTech - Currently focused in my hometown, they’ve done some amazing things for high school age girls.
  Individual Articles:

• Empowering Women By Code - An interesting article and how I learned about Skillcrush.

• Women in Technology - Small article/AWESOME video clip. Hilarious.
• Why aren’t more girls attached to physics - An NPR audio clip Ava sent me on why women don’t go in to STEM.
• Student’s ‘Meltdown’ Blogpost - This isn’t entirely women based, but it does talk a lot about impostor syndrome (everyone seems to get it!) and the original blog meltdown is an interesting/sad/slightly life-affirming read.
• Miss America is a Nerd! (not really tech, but awesome)
  [This will probably be a continually updated list for a while. I’ll sticky it to the top of the page for now.]
