Learn how to build an Origami ‘Menger Sponge’ from train tickets and explore other shapes using ‘limping seagulls’.

Intrigued? So are we!

PLEASE BRING OLD TRAIN TICKETS!

The rules: no female, no entry

Girl Geek events are for the ladies! But it doesn’t mean that men can’t attend, they just have to come as the guest of a female.

  • If you are male and wish to attend the event then you will need to be invited by a female attending the event.
  • Girls, one date only please! (We want to keep the numbers balanced!)
  • The best way around these rules if you’re a guy who wants to attend? Convince or bribe someone to let you be their date for the dinner.

Review on Manchester Girls’ Geek Afternoon Tea Party

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Review on Manchester Girls’ Geek Afternoon Tea Party.

This was another opportunity for all the women from different sectors of Science and Engineering field to come together and have a Chit chat with tea and biscuits. It was also a great opportunity for them to bring up any research they have done and talk about it.

The programme was scheduled to start at 2 and guests arrived right on time. Professional time!!!!. There were around 13 guests altogether and they were all very friendly. I saw some familiar faces from last dinner. It was like another friends reunion as they recognized me from last time. (more…)

Maybe ;)
