Young People In Tech Launch Event - connecting students and employers directly

We are a group of A-level and college students in Sheffield who have come together with the aim of connecting students and employers directly. We aim to do this by organising interactive events that help students form a much better understanding of opportunities that exist, eliminating common misconceptions and making the path to a job in the technology industry much clearer!

The events are organised and led by students to help them be as enjoyable and informative as possible, removing the common power dynamic and facilitating a less formal space where students can feel more comfortable asking questions and getting to know employers and each other, helping with employment and apprenticeship opportunities in the future.

As this is the launch event it is going to be relatively small and simple, with the aim of dispelling myths about employment and building up networking connections, alongside forming the student network and finding people who would be interested in getting involved.



Employers:

We welcome employers from across the tech industry who are interested in meeting students, finding out what they are learning and making, and hearing their questions directly.

Students

If you are a post-16 student who is learning a digital subject and is interested in a career in tech, or just curious about it, this is the event for you!

Please note that the event is for post-16 students only, and if you are under 18 you must complete the parental consent form.

Sheffield Digital: Showcase

We are pleased to announce that the Sheffield Digital Showcase is back! This is an event for industry pros and the general public alike. With a format similar to a talk show, our guests are invited on stage to explain their projects and to chat to Chris Dymond, who will delve into the details of how the project came about, how it was made and by whom, and what its impact has been. Our first Showcase of 2024 (and the first since pre-Covid) is on Tuesday 19 March at Sheffield Technology Parks. We'll be kicking things off at 5:30pm with drinks and nibbles, and we aim to be finished by 8pm.

We will identify and discuss the challenges and difficulties that are top of mind for attendees.

The Founder's Journey

Hear from female founders on the highs and lows of starting, growing and running their own ventures.

Future-Proofing Sheffield's Businesses - Ferrio and Sheff Tech Parks (Sheffield Digital Festival Fringe Event)

How do we help businesses in Sheffield stay ahead of the technological curve?

The pace of change in digital technology is so fast it can be difficult even for digital technology businesses to keep up. This has a ripple effect across all industries, and businesses that fall behind leave themselves open to competitors who find faster routes to market and game changing efficiencies. How can Sheffield's digital sector ensure that the city stays up to date and consistently compete both nationally and internationally?

Through a mix of talks from local industry figures and roundtable discussion, we hope to being to answer this critical question.

BYO Tech Lunch

We’re mixing things up this month and instead of meeting for Tech Tea after work we’re grabbing our lunch boxes and gathering for an informal mid-day chinwag at Sheffield Tech Parks.

This is not a formal networking event just an opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about seeing more diversity in tech and chat over a bite to eat. No need to book, simply bring your lunch, drop by and say ‘hi’. We will provide drinks and a few nibbles. Everyone welcome.

If you have any questions ahead of joining us feel free to reach out to us on social media or by email shfwit@gmail.com

Hope to see you there!

A significant proportion of a developer's day is spent reading code rather than writing it. Therefore, it's important that the code we do write is easy to read; in other words clean code. By keeping our code clean and simple not only do we ensure that it is readable, but also easier to maintain, test and less prone to bugs.

Writing clean code is not easy. It takes patience and practice. However, there are some simple rules we can follow to simplify the code we develop. In this talk we will consider six rules to help us develop cleaner code. We will also take a look at some of the metrics that will help us measure the complexity of what we write.

After the event we'll head to a local pub for a chat with fellow attendees and a few drinks.

Our event is free to all but we ask that you sign up online so we have an idea of numbers for the venue. We love to hear your feedback and suggestions for future events either on Twitter or through the #SheffieldPHP channel on the Sheffield Digital Slack account.

Sheffield PHP - Hack your way into 2020!

Ready to start the New Year with a challenge? Join us next Thursday to test your whitehat hacking skills!

In order to build more secure web applications we must first understand how applications can be exploited. Taking vulnerabilities from the OWASP top 10 list this interactive workshop will pit two teams against each other to find the most vulnerbilities they can in 90 minutes.

Bring a laptop if you can (no additional software is needed).

After the event we'll head to a local pub for a chat with fellow attendees and a few drinks.

Our event is free to all but we ask that you sign up online so we have an idea of numbers for the venue. We love to hear your feedback and suggestions for future events either on Twitter or through the #SheffieldPHP channel on the Sheffield Digital Slack account.
