Coding, like reading or writing, is becoming an essential skill in today’s world. Programming is rapidly changing the way almost every industry works – marketing, media, entertainment, retail, you name it. We’re living in a world in which nearly everything is affected by technology. Regardless of profession, programming skills, such as Python and Java, have become integral in decision making and product development.

There is a strong gender imbalance in the STEM field. Women reportedly only occupy 26% of computing-related jobs.It’s time to change those stats. We are teaming up with Women Who Code for a panel discussion featuring outstanding women to discuss what a career in engineering has brought to them and how you can benefit from it too.

Join us online to listen to these women as they discuss how they got started in the industry, which coding languages to learn, and how they overcame common obstacles.
