Wonder Tech Woman

I was honored to be chosen as a 2017 Women Techmakers scholar. As a WTM scholar I was awarded a generous scholarship and was invited to a retreat in Google offices in London. In the retreat I met wonderful ladies, learned about personal branding, transforming ideas to actions, tips for writing CV and interviewing and what food at Google office is like ;) Ever since I hosted events to engage our future scientists into loving science, empowering woman and promoting STEM. One of my initiatives is this blog. So how was it for me? 2014 – Rejection. 2015 – Rejection. 2016 – Didn't finish my application. 2017 – WTM scholar!

Themyscira: GHC 2017 Orlando – My Kind of Theme Park GHC 2017 - My Kind of Theme Park I was grateful to be a part of GHC2017. A shaping, motivating, inspiring and super fun experience!

היי בנות, כמה מחברותי שאלו אותי על מלגות הצטיינות שכדאי להגיש אליהן מועמדות והחלטתי לשתף זאת עם כולכן. אז אקדים ואומר שתמיד כדאי לנסות במידה ואתן עומדות בקריטריונים, ואפילו אם קיבלתן תשובה שלילית תמיד מומלץ לנסות שנית. כמות הפעמים שקיבלתי תשובה שלילית למלגות זהה פחות או יותר לזו של התשובות החיוביות. במהלך התואר הראשון הרגשתי שהחשיפה שלי למגלות הללו היתה מקרית (מפה לאוזן / מיילים מהפקולטה) ולכן חשבתי שנכון לרכז הכל במק ום אחד. בפוסט בעיקר מלגות לתואר ראשון / שני ובמידה ויש לכן מידע להוסיף אשמח אם תפנו אלי! לקישור לחצו כאן:    מלגות
