Girl Geek Scotland are offering a series of residential workshops in Autumn 2010 which are FREE (fully funded) to complement the group's 2010 Speaker Series. The workshops, which are aimed at women who are thinking about starting, or have recently started, a Scottish business, will work around themes that will target percieved existing weaknesses in female business culture, namely: Negotiation, Funding Strategies, and Creativity in Business.

These workshops are aimed at women with an interest in technology- your background is less important than your enthusiasm and desire to follow a tech/creative project through. A diverse range of people is expected to attend with backgrounds in design, art, computer science, engineering, nursing, photography- the list is endless.You will be required to bring a project with you- at the end of each workshop you should have developed a workable strategy that will allow you to complete this project using new skills and resources gained during the weekend.

The dates of the workshops are as follows...

Creativity in Business: September 17^th -19^th 2010

Funding Strategies: October 15^th -17^th 2010

Negotiation: November 19^th -21^st 2010
