Featured speaker and technical coach, Florentia Protopsalti (CERN)

Event date: 30 March 2022

Time: 17:00-18:30 (CEST)

Registration closing time: 30 March 2022, at 16:00 (CEST)

Who is this training for? This training is for girls and women aged 14 and older. We are working to get more women working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), because women are underrepresented in these fields around the world. To make up for this difference, we organize trainings specifically for girls and women.

What experience do I need? No prior programming experience is needed.

Cost: Free.

Format: Online event (via Zoom). You will receive a Zoom meeting link after registering- this will come to the email address you used to order your Eventbrite ticket(s) about a day before the training.

Language: English (assistance in French available but the main contents are delivered in English)

Equipment requirements: You need a computer that you can use at home and a stable Internet connection. Please participate via Zoom using a computer and not a phone.

More about this training:

How can you use satellite data to understand climate change in your community? Join RightsTech Women and partners for an online training exploring this question. In this event:

  • Gitanjali Sah from the Strategic Planning and Membership Department of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) will welcome participants. Participants will learn about the WSIS Repository of Women in Tech initiative.
  • Ellen Walker, from RightsTech Women, will share about the need to get more women working in data science, on climate change issues.
  • Florentia Protopsalti, a technical coach, will share her career perspectives and experience of working in computing and data science at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
  • Our technical coaches will introduce participants to how you can apply pictures of Earth taken from space to understand climate change in your local area and around the world. We will introduce you to satellite imagery and the process of working with such data to investigate your own questions. We will introduce you to Google Earth Engine, a platform you can use to visualize and understand climate trends such as deforestation, temperature change, and extreme events.

This event is taking place in the framework of the WSIS Forum 2022, in partnership with the WSIS Repository of Women in Tech. The WSIS Forum the International Telecommunication Union's annual World Summit on the Information Society.
