We're super-pleased to announce the first of this year's series of Hull Girl Geek Dinners, starting on Thursday 11th March. Hull Girl Geeks is about bringing together women who like or work within science and technology, which is pretty much everyone these days.  This is the FIRST meeting whereby local business women (and men) and university students are getting together.  We ope that we will be able to build this community to encourage ladies from schools, colleges, university and employment /industry to engage with each other and share their tech stories and support
