Empowering Women in Tech

Girl with Answers, women have played a significant role in shaping the technology landscape. From Ada Lovelace who wrote the first computer program in the 19th century, to Hedy Lamarr who contributed to wireless communication, and today’s remarkable leaders such as Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook and Reshma Saujani of Girls Who Code, women continue to inspire and empower countless others to pursue careers in technology.

However, despite women’s increasing presence in the field of technology, more work needs to be done to ensure that they have equal access to opportunities and growth within their organizations. Whether it’s unconscious bias, lack of mentorship, or insufficient training and promotion, many women face challenges in the field of technology that need to be addressed.

Breaking Barriers: Empowering Women in the Tech Industry

Girl Develop It is a non-profit do-tank offering affordable, live and hybrid workshops and courses in web and software development for women and minorities who are looking to enter and thrive in the tech industry. They have chapters across the United States, and host learning and networking events for their members.

Having a strong network of supportive people is important for any career, but especially so in the field of technology. Creating a group that supports women in the field can help to lift them up when they’re struggling, and it can encourage them to push through imposter syndrome or other self doubts that may arise.
