UConn’s Women in Making Forum seeks to highlight how female-identifying people find success within the maker movement. We will identify barriers to entry and discuss best practices to navigate these obstacles through interactive discussion. There will be speakers on inclusivity, gender bias, and the history of women in making. Additionally, we will host skill-building workshops which celebrate crafting, mending, and repurposing as universal, feminist, self-reliant practices.
All are welcome, including students, faculty, staff, and friends of UConn!
The in-person portion will take place from 9:00am-12:00pm and includes lunch, materials for workshops and additional giveaways!
The virtual portion will take place from 1:00pm-3:00pm and features a panel discussion along with virtual activities. Those who register prior to Tuesday, March 23rd will be mailed supplies for the activities while supplies last.
Space is limited, so be sure to register at https://lciz.uconn.edu/womeninmaking/ to receive the full experience!
