The inaugural South Yorkshire Girl Geeks Dinner took place at the Barnsley Digital Media Centre on 2nd September.
The event featured two speakers: Silvia Novak from published Faber & Faber and Rain Ashford from the BBC. Silvia described how F&F is using social media to engage directly with its audiences, while Rain shared her passion for Lilypad Arduino. Attendees also took part in an interactive artwork by Barnsley artist Jo Pearson, which combined the ancient system of iChing with QR codes and mobile technology.
