Women in Tech: a Global Problem with Ally Watson of Code Like a Girl

from Ripples of Radical Generosity · host Coralus

"I was honestly sick of women volunteering their time for this problem. It's not their problem. It's the world's problem. It's everybody's problem." - Ally Watson, CEO & Founder of Code Like a Girl   The technology we build today determines the world we live in tomorrow. But if that world is being built under the leadership of only a small portion of our community, what kind of world will we have?   Code Like a Girl is a social enterprise providing girls and women with the confidence, tools, knowledge and support to enter, and flourish, in the world of coding. Code Like a Girl empowers and enables women and girls to be equal creators in building the future. It’s not enough to have more women using tech – we need more women building tech.   Join Vicki Saunders as she uncovers how Ally Watson founded Code Like a Girl and also sheds light on: The global problem of how there are few women on tech teams or working with computer science. How to solve real problems in our society through computer science. The process of creating meaningful change by meeting individuals and changing their lives. Why the general spotlight of women in tech should also focus on women building tech and coding tech.
