Please spread the word: anyone in the Bay Area on December 7th is invited to attend, perform at, or donate to Techtonica's Talent Show & Auction to support diversity in tech!



This event will raise funds for Techtonica’s apprenticeship, an intensive tech training program with living stipends and job placement for Bay Area women and non-binary adults with low incomes. The purchase of your ticket and any other contributions you choose to make on the night will directly benefit the participants of our apprenticeship program and help increase diversity in tech and empower locals in need!

We’ll have food, entertainment, an auction, and a Rubik's cube contest. You’ll also get to learn more about our January 2018 apprenticeship and mingle with other talented Techtonica supporters. Be ready to have fun while contributing to a good cause!

The auction will include fun items and services our supporters have donated. Examples include getaways, paintings, and professional headshots.

Perform in the talent show!

Talents can be anything family-friendly that is entertaining—juggling, poetry recitations, comedy, live speed-painting, playing the piano . . . Apply here now, we can't wait to see what you have to offer! Here's who we have so far:

From top left to bottom right: Midnight Burrito, Linda Peng, Lauren Griewski, Super Famous Mike, Erica Horowitz, Supervague, Pam Mangan, Paul Jordan, Trace Repeat. Also performing: Miami Girl, the ladies of Vocal Edition, Corey Quinn, and Popstar Booty Camp.
