Cyant and Women in 3D Printing are presenting #3DTalk Panel, featuring 4 women and guest panelists: Sarah O’Rourke, Carrie Motamedi, Christine Mytko and Jane Yarnell.
Our guests come from three different environments: large software company, open-access workshop and school, and represent 3 different perspectives on using 3D Printing to educate and empower the current and next generations of makers. They will also share their experiences as women in the field, as well as what excites them in this rising industry.
This #3DTalk event is hosted by KIRAKIRA, which instill girls with creative confidence, and inspire them to learn design-thinking and innovation skills to become tomorrow’s leaders. KIRAKIRA’s mission is to create a passion for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) education through fun, fast, and free video classes made by girls for girls.
