Women in Tech Day 2022

Online

Women in Tech Day is an interactive exploration which encourages young women to explore computer science and technology! Women in Tech Day is an inspiring, stereotype-busting, interactive exploration which encourages young women to consider the many career pathways and ever-increasing employment openings which exist through the study of computer science and technology. This event will help young women realize the possibilities offered through a career in technology by hearing important messages of the future from other students, faculty, and industry. The skill sets needed by industry through the study of computer science and IT can be linked to every aspect of study from communication, art and design, business, medicine, health, engineering, law, and more. In addition to hearing from our industry and student mentors, your students will be working through a series of activities using python to solve problems in data types, variables, input/output, if statements, and loops. With the help of our instructor and female mentors, they will be put into groups to solve logic and coding problems to build their confidence in computing! Coding experience isn’t necessary to attend the event.
