Get ready to cook and enjoy an easy meal at home with the help of professional chef Emily Richards. This free virtual cooking workshop is Tuesday January 12th at 5:30pm. There will be a raffle at the event for a grocery store gift card of your choice plus a copy of Emily's latest cookbook, "5 Ingredient Cooking"! This event is open to all GWiCS members. Please register to receive the Zoom link and list of ingredients: https://forms.gle/JnjKXfmEWmZ1sReq9 Also, GWiCS is excited to be working with SOCS to host Go CODE Girl<https://www.uoguelph.ca/computing/outreach/go-code-girl> on Saturday February 13th at 1:00pm. SOCS has been running this event for many years and it's always a fantastic experience for the kids and volunteers!

We have some fun workshops and activities planned, and we can't do it without your help. We're looking for anybody who is interested in helping out (including first year students, masters students, or alumni).
