WE HAD TO ACTto address the alarming scarcity of women in

technology

Of technology professionals, men outnumber women

3:1

Few + FleeingWe have failed to welcome women into the technical space.

Women accounted for 18% of computer

science grads, in 2013

No coding for young womenAspiring tech professionals are mostly white males.

Women face unfair challenges, all around the world. Teach them to build software solutions.
