While Beyoncé may answer this question with a loud, enthusiastic “GIRLS”, let’s be real: the people in technology are making this world go around. And in STEM careers and STEM majors, the gender gap is still clearly in effect. In this talk, a recent high school graduate and Girls in Tech leader will offer a fresh perspective about the disconnect between girls and careers in technology, despite the ongoing efforts by many to close this gap. We'll get real about why we still aren’t seeing enough girls pursue these careers, why it’s still important to change this, and how we can all become better allies (or “STEMinists”) to help fix the issue.
