GitHub Universe Big Bang Benefit Concert

The Big Bang after party, part of a unique conference event hosted by GitHub, invites both conference attendees and the wider Bay Area community to enjoy a concert at the historic Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco on September 14. The event is free for Universe badge holders, while the general public can attend with a $40 donation, with proceeds supporting Black Girls Code (BGC), an organization dedicated to empowering young African-American girls through coding education. The headliner for the evening is COMMON, a renowned multi-Grammy Award-winning artist known for his impactful contributions to music, film, and social causes. The collaboration between GitHub and BGC underscores a shared commitment to increasing diversity in technology and providing opportunities for young girls from underrepresented communities to learn programming languages like Scratch and Ruby on Rails, aiming to equip them with skills needed for future tech job opportunities.
