Creating The Young Programmers of Tomorrow

It’s no secret that there is a huge imbalance with regards to the number of female programmers vs male ones in today’s world.

Our speakers on this panel will talk about actionable steps which must be taken to excite and inspire young girls into building a career in software engineering or tech generally. Something they are tackling head first with their own startups.
