Women in tech events, like a female investor roundtable or a session of women technologists speaking about their careers, are undoubtedly important.
These kinds of events have the power to inspire. They offer a platform to a minority group in the tech scene. They create community within a tech scene.
But sometimes? Sometimes they can also single out women technologists as “the other,” in a way that perhaps isn’t always helpful.
We discuss that topic and more in the second edition of the Technical.ly podcast, featuring Technical.ly reporters from Baltimore, Brooklyn and Philly, as well as editor Christopher Wink. This month, we focus on diversity in tech.
You can now subscribe to our podcast on iTunes here. Or listen below.
Some Philly-relevant threads include:
- How Girl Develop It is changing the makeup of the Philly tech scene.
- The success of STEM-focused schools like Science Leadership Academy and The Workshop School
