Diversity4Tech.Science story:
Empowering women and minorities in Tech Industry, through ‘improvement of STEM education in primary and secondary schools’ via online courses and exposure to role models.
During my career, as a woman, it became very clear that there's a lack of women and other diverse groups and underestimation of these on the work floor, especially in IT and R&D departments and in higher positions. For this reason, I started this initiative to make a change, since through diversity and inclusion you involve everybody regardless of gender or background to contribute to social development in communities worldwide and to innovate.
