Girl Geek Dinner at Mekong
Monday, July 15, 2013
6:00 pm- 8:30 pm

This month, we'll focus on technologies that teach girls to code using games and devices.  Tiffany France talks to us about Raspberry Pi and Sonail Shetty introduces Sphero .  Gamification techniques can quickly make traditionally boring, painful, otherwise mundane activities fun. The application of game mechanics in a non-game context is why we gleefully battle for mayorship of our favorite coffee shops on FourSquare, how our FitBits encourage us to climb more stairs, and how many boys and girls are now learning to code.

RVA Data Hackers: Analytics for Online Journalism Tuesday July 16, 2013

Please join us to hear Andrew Montalenti present on Analytics for Online Journalism. Andrew will walk us through how his company, Parse.ly, analyzes web traffic for major media outlets at scale.

Abstract

The rise of online content has simultaneously disrupted and empowered journalism. Disrupted: because now anyone can publish without the need of a printing press and army of editors acting as a gategeeker. Empowered: because content does not live and die on a static printed page, but instead flows in a evolving online ecosystem where it is viewed, shared, aggregated, bookmarked, queued, re-posted, linked to, commented upon, and reformatted for display on mobile phones, tablet apps, websites, widgets, RSS readers, e-readers and more.

Are you working on a side project, startup, or building your portfolio? Do you want to meet other like minded people and be motivated by fellow makers and creatives?

You don't have to be at 804RVA every single day to get the benefits - in fact, you can start coming after hours!

Every Thursday after 6pm, 804RVA Night Owls is a fun & productive member-run working session for people that have full time jobs but want to work on a side project...as well as students and people who just prefer working after dark!

Night Owls is included with any 804RVA membership, every Thursday,  (including our $25/month basic membership). Yep, you can work at 804RVA 4 evenings a month for as little as $25 - plus you're plugged into the entire 804RVA community for discussions & events outside of Night Owls.

If you're already an 804RVA member, just drop by. If you're not a member yet, sign up for a tour so we can help you get started! We'll be coworking from 6pm until midnight!
