#tech4good on #sheparty
On September 12th, @Circleof6app joined @WomensMediaCntr in hosting a #sheparty chat about women in tech & #tech4good. We wanted to know: what changes when women are doing the coding? How can tech help bring communities together? And what does it mean to use #tech4good?
Why is it critical for women to be coding and programming? What does it mean to use #tech4good? Join #sheparty 3pm ET today to find out!- First, we wanted to know: how does tech change when women are involved in a hands-on way? How does the world change?
@fancynancynyc @Circleof6app @womensmediacntr learned to code to change the world too many friends affected by violence #sheparty #tech4good
@fancynancynyc When women & girls code, we create tools specific to our dreams, needs & world. In digital world, this is critical. #sheparty
"Writing code" is code itself for defining the terms of the debate, defining who we are. That's powerful! #sheparty #tech4good
@fancynancynyc @blackgirlscode is fab #STEM inspiration; #women often use problem-solving lens4 productization; elevates humanity #sheparty- Community support is key! #sheparty tweeters share the women in tech they're inspired by the most:
@tiffanyshlain is an amazing filmmaker (webby founder) who unites art & science in creative ways. #SheParty #tech4Good
Some of my favorite leaders in tech? @SuePGardner (WMF) @vaurora (TAI) @NancyProctor (Smithsonian Mobile) just to name a few! #sheparty
Inspired by conversation starters like @rachelsklar who created #changetheratio convo #sheparty #tech4good
I can point to @Skillcrush by @addabjork and others as antidote to the problems I pointed to here bit.ly/Q38zDb #tech4good #sheparty- But in order for women to enter #tech4good, we need to create opportunities for them to do so. What does it mean to be "in tech," and how can girls who are interested get there?
