XOXO Outpost

Cancelled due to treacherous streets/sidewalks in the area.

This will be a casual get together for women who want to hack on projects with or around other women. All types of projects (software and hardware), languages, platforms and experience levels are welcome. Remember, no experience is an experience level!

Don't have anything to work on? Come, and we'll help you find a project!

What you should bring:

• Your laptop or other equipment
• Yourself!

We'll provide:

• the space, including lots of seating and tables
• internet
• some snacks, including gluten-free and vegan options

Our goal is to support local women hackers (and aspiring hackers) by providing a safe, welcoming environment in which you can connect with and learn from each other.

We're kid-friendly, too, so feel free to bring your children with you.

Women Who Hack is open to all women (cis & trans*) and genderqueer persons, as well as accompanied children of all genders.

All participants of Women Who Hack agree to follow the Citizen Code of Conduct.

Join us for an evening of food, drink, and warm creative people.

This is bound to be the foremost, unparalleled, absolutely amazing, super cool, geek out podcast, storytelling, audio maker party in Portland this year! Come mingle with your fellow audio makers and audio fans.

We have big plans for the future and need your support to get there!

At the party, we will be screening the 1st Annual 24-Hour Podcast Challenge entries. Teams will form the evening of the 9th and then spend all day Saturday creating a work of audio. You'll be the first to hear these amazing stories at the party.

Create, record, edit, produce and premiere an episode of your podcast... in 24 hours!

So you want to start a podcast? Come to the STREAM PDX 24-Hour Podcast Challenge! Kick off the creation of your podcast by creating the first episode here in just 24 hours, and premiere it at the launch party on Saturday evening!

Friday December 9 & Saturday December 10, 2016

The 24-Hour Podcast Challenge brings together people passionate about telling great stories through audio. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, the Podcast Challenge is the perfect event for making your dream a reality or just having fun! Bring a team, find partners at the Friday night kickoff party, or work solo.

How it works

On Friday night, we'll give an overview of the next 24 hours, and share some simple tips you can use to get started on your podcast episode. You can record on your phones, borrow field recorders, or book time in the STREAM PDX studio! Remember, simply using a better microphone won't help you tell a better story.

By dinner Saturday evening, the showcase begins and the fun continues! You'll finish editing the episode by 5pm, submit it for the evening show, and then relax and enjoy the rest of the night! Starting at 7pm the event is open to the public, and we'll premiere each team's podcast episode! Invite your friends to hear your creation and enjoy food and drinks!

What changes after the 2016 elections? How do folks from the design and tech communities come together to fight the good fight? How do we learn how to help?

In this workshop, we’ll work with both ideas and actions, by joining with community partners to envision, plan, scope and scale a User Experience project. We’ll begin by discussing problems and needs with our stakeholders, using the Envisioning Cards toolkit from the Value Sensitive Design Lab at UW. We’ll then explore User Experience methods and tactics using IDEO’s method cards. Lastly, we’ll plan deliverables, discuss resourcing, and create a budget for our project.

Workshop is limited to 10 participants. We'll have plenty of time for discussion and exploration.

Participants will receive a copy of the UX Night School Field Notebook and our UX Project Planning and Methods Guides to use in their own work. Snacks and beverages will be provided.

A weekend making fun science projects.

Science Hack Day is an event where anyone excited about making things with science comes together to see what they can prototype in 24 hours.

The event starts Friday, October 7th at 6:30pm at XOXO Outpost in Inner NE Portland (info).

All skill levels and backgrounds are welcome.

You don't need a team, project, or idea to attend. Just show up and we will help you find an interesting project to work on!

All you ladies who like to draw, come on out! Bring whatever you are working on, we'll have table space for working, but bring the supplies that you'll need.

I've been drawing daily for the past six months or so, but I've started to crave chatting with others and getting inspired by seeing what other people are creating, so I created an event to make that happen.
