Getting there & access
The Vancouver Independent School for Science and Technology (VISST) hosts some of our meetups. It sits on West Broadway.
VISST is a non-profit, STEM-focused high school founded in 2022. It emphasizes rigorous academics, project-based learning, and inspiring curiosity. Its sliding-scale tuition brings authentic diversity to the student population. The school also runs summer camps for younger students, starting from Grade 4.
Our connection is through VISST co-founder Mike Gelbart, previously a data science faculty member at UBC and one of the founders of the UBC Master of Data Science program.

PyLadies × R-Ladies Vancouver Lightning Talks
A joint lightning talks night with R-Ladies Vancouver: short, punchy talks (5 to 15 minutes) from both communities. Beginners especially welcome, and yes, you can reuse a talk you've given before. We're looking for speakers now.
