When I moved to London a year after the birth of my second child, I decided to explore a career change from publishing to the growing tech sector. I have tried different meet-ups, but always struggled to make it to the locations by 6:30pm, usually the worst time of the day for parents of young children.

As a newcomer to London, Mums in Technology was a great place to meet mums and learn to code in an encouraging and positive community. Whether your on mat leave or just interested in tech, you will not regret getting involved.

I joined the January cohort at M&S Digital which had first hand developers who helped through out as well as the likes of UX designers who gave talks on their journey.

It's been a door opener and great experience meeting innovative startups and likeminded individuals thanks to mums in technology.

Attending Mums in Tech is a great spring board for ideas, whether you're considering a career in coding or have a business idea that needs tech input. I started with limited knowledge of coding, and a basic business idea - and came out with a better understanding of the coding landscape, a fantastic support network and clarity of how to move my idea forward.
Added that I could take my baby made this a fantastically flexible course!
