Women’s Maker Meetup
At MakerLabs we believe that sharing space, tools, and skills are fundamental aspects of maker culture. The Tools For Women residency focuses on empowering self-identified women and non-binary people to use the tools at MakerLabs in a comfortable and supportive environment to make almost anything.
Join us for our monthly meet-up to see what the Tools for Women residents have been making, and learn about the residency.
Whether you're a seasoned maker or someone who has only made things in your head and have been too nervous to give it a go IRL, come by and meet other makers and dreamers. We will be having presentations from residents and a mix and mingle, for the opportunity to network with the community.
This event is open to everyone who wishes to support the residents and learn about the program.

Code Club
If you have some programming experience and want a place to learn more, time to work on your own projects, or a place to meet others with technical interests, come to Code Club. A mentor will be available to help you level up your skills. Short presentations will introduce new tools, languages, or platforms. Bring your own device or borrow a library device.

Before joining The New York Times, Tripp spent eight years at The Wall Street Journal, where he wrote about Apple, Google, bourbon, and beer. His book, After Steve: How Apple Became a Trillion-Dollar Company and Lost Its Soul, tells the inside story of the unspoken power struggle between Tim Cook and head designer Jony Ive after the death of Steve Jobs. He began his career as a sportswriter, covering the business of the Olympics. A graduate of Wake Forest University, he grew up in Charlotte, N.C., and lives in San Francisco.
As part of our #vtjtalks event series, Tripp will join Vancouver Tech Journal founder William Johnson to discuss the following:
What entrepreneurs can learn from Apple's rise to becoming the most valuable company in the world,
How Apple shifted its approach to products and services on its path to a trillion dollars in value,
The role executives actually play in product development, culture, and other facets of business,
How founders can harness the power of storytelling to grow their business,
And more.
