More info about our workshops

Anja Zenz: Natural Language Processing from Model to Product
Are you curious to learn more about the buzzword “Natural Language Processing” (NLP)? Or have you ever wondered how to bring a machine-learning application into production? In this hands-on workshop, we will learn about the NLP task Entity Recognition, train a model for Entity Recognition, and deploy an application in the cloud which uses our trained model. Please bring your laptops!

Claire Husting: Let's empathize with our users - using UX methods to shift perspectives
We all know some products which are just not user-friendly. How can we prevent that and develop a user-first mindset instead? With a hands-on Empathy Workshop, we will discuss how we can concentrate on user needs, motivation, and goals. In small groups, we will learn how to understand our users by using soft skills as well as UX methods.

What is the Code Pub?

The Code Pub is a regular (mostly quarterly) meetup for FINTA* in Tech. FINTA stands for Female, Intersex, Trans and Agender. It stands for anyone who is not a cis man. In this way, we want to create a safe space for exchange at our events for (so far) underrepresented genders in the IT industry. The events are open to beginners as well as professionals. Our goal is to create a platform where we can inspire and be inspired. 🤩

The CodePub initiative was founded 2013 by a group of engaged people at Netlight with the purpose to increase the number of women in the IT industry. We achieved a lot in the last 10 years, but we are not there yet - so the story continues! By lowering the threshold for getting started with programming and highlighting FINTA* role models within IT, we believe that we can make a difference. In order to impact the entire industry, we work together with other cool IT companies and initiatives. For every event, we are handpicking topics and speakers to give you always new insights. 🙌

This time we thought it is important to highlight female Tech Entrepreneurs because the number of female founders with a study background in Tech/IT is quite rare. How can we change that? By showing different careers and empowering others. Also, hands-on skills are helpful and therefore we set up workshops with a deep dive into two different IT topics. 🙏
