We’re doing it again! Join STATION DC, #NatSecGirlSquad and Women in Defense for an empowering evening of connection, inspiration, and celebration at our Women in Tech Happy Hour! We’re bringing together women innovators, leaders, and aspiring tech entrepreneurs to recognize and celebrate the achievements of women in technology and beyond.
✨May 20: Being Kind in an Unkind world
Hosted on Zoom by Alex Snider, a mindfulness and authentic relating facilitator (and federal employee!)
RSVP: Secure your spot here!
Details: The world can feel fast, harsh, and overwhelming–especially if you work in the public sector. This session offers a chance to slow down and reconnect with the kindness you want to share with others—no matter how the others act. We’ll mix simple mindfulness with fun, meaningful conversation to help us all remember the many others who are choosing a different, kinder way.
✨June 9: EXPLORING SPACE- A Space & Military Intelligence Learning Experience
Join the SMILE Summer Camp & Runway Show from June 9–13, 2025, in Washington, DC, for a high-energy week focused on quantum intelligence, ethical social engineering, and sustainable globalization. Designed for ages 13–25 (but open to all), the camp blends learning, creativity, and tech-fueled fun — including workshops, capture-the-flag competitions, and a runway showcase.
🎟 Tickets range from day passes to full camp access.
🔒 Location details shared after registration.
