Abstract

As technology continues to permeate every segment of our lives, we often find ourselves wondering — Who creates these technologies? What inspires them? Can I build such cool things too? A diverse developer team is essential to efficiently anticipate, understand and solve the diverse needs of the users. Today, we mostly picture technologists to be White or Asian males wearing hoodies typing away furiously at their laptops. How can we change this to reflect a more vibrant tech space? Come, join a journey set in downtown Chicago inspiring, educating, and equipping girls with the computing and entrepreneurship skills to pursue 21st century opportunities and a step towards changing the face of technology.
