Technology is allowing us to have great impact on our society, but we have to ensure that the people making this impact are reflective of that society. This requires more diversity in beta, technology and IT, and I am really looking forward to working collaboratively with the VHTO members of staff and partners to achieve this.
“You can’t be what you can’t see”, is a saying we are all familiar with. Unfortunately, due to the IT gender gap, girls have very few opportunities to meet female role models in technical roles. In this interactive workshop we will discuss the latest insights from scientific research on the root causes of the IT gender gap and explore what it takes to be an effective role model.
You’ll also practice what we preach: by the end of the workshop you will have done several speed date rounds in which you have presented yourself as a role model.
Session Key Takeaways:
This session is for… anyone in the tech industry who aspires to inspire and support young women in their journey into IT. Whether you’re already in a technical role or looking to make a difference, this session offers the tools and confidence to become a pivotal role model for future tech enthusiasts.
