Kickin’ Axe and Spreading the Galentine’s Love—Life at InRhythm

 

InRhythm’s Women in Tech group kicked off its first offsite event of 2019 with a Leslie Knope-inspired, Parks and Recreation-themed “Galentine’s Day” event on February 13th celebrating the women of InRhythm and all that we do for each other. Our goal? To bring together the diverse group of women working at InRhythm for an evening of fun and togetherness. In attendance were designers, engineers, and operations team members, all united in support of representation in the tech field. Our night at Kick Axe Throwing in Brooklyn began with dividing our group into two teams—Kick Axe and Triple Axe.

Stakes were high between our fiercely competitive group members. We can code and design for high-level industry-leading clients, but the aerodynamics of axe throwing proved to be a new challenge. While Triple Axe ultimately won the contest, we count all our members as winners.

The women of Women in Tech bring diverse experiences and skills to our group, and that’s what makes us stronger together. From recent grads to seasoned engineers, making strides toward equality takes all kinds of people united behind a good cause. Even the act of working as a woman in the field is progress, so we’re all advancing the cause with everything we do. We think that’s worth a little bit of appreciation and celebration.

Moving the Needle: The Year for Women in Tech

The year after the birth of the #MeToo moment was a big one for women in STEM fields, and as we make our way into 2019 the new year presents new challenges and new opportunities to make the tech field more accessible and welcoming for women all over the world.
