Her Waka (April 2026) — #IAmRemarkable & Vibe Coding
#IAmRemarkable & Vibe Coding
About This Event
The second cohort of the HER WAKA series continues with a session focused on building confidence, celebrating achievements, and exploring practical AI tools.
We will begin with #IAmRemarkable, a global movement that encourages everyone, especially those from underrepresented groups, to celebrate their achievements and challenge the stigma around self-promotion. In this engaging 50-minute workshop, She Sharp Founder and Director Dr Mahsa McCauley (Mohaghegh) will guide participants through practical exercises to help recognise achievements, own your story, and confidently share your impact.
In the second half of the session, participants will take part in a 30-minute recruiter networking activity, where 2–3 tables will be set up to allow small groups to connect directly with recruiters. Each participant will have a few minutes at each table to introduce themselves, ask questions, and practise real-world conversations in a supportive environment.
