About
Hive Waterloo Region traces itself to volunteer efforts that began in 2012 and incorporated as a not-for-profit in 2016, on the back of the Year of Code Waterloo Region campaign that ran from July 2015 to June 2016 and reached more than 20,000 residents. Its work is aimed at youth and at women, teaching the technical skills to shape technology rather than only use it, and pushing on diversity and inclusion inside the region's tech sector. Programs include Learn to Code sessions at local libraries, HackerGrrlz in schools, and Learn to Love Spreadsheets. It is a member of the Mozilla Leadership Network, and its listed sponsors include TD, Libro Credit Union and the City of Kitchener. Board member Karen Schulman Dupuis took the TechWaterloo stage in April 2017 with a talk called 'Disrupting Yourself' — about taking the initiative rather than waiting for good things to arrive, built on her own account of working for a boss who would not leave her alone and what she did about it.
