The Future is Female

Women have been at the forefront of technological innovation since it began. We've heard the stories of inspirational women such as Dorothy Vaughn, who taught herself, and her staff coding, then proceeded to head the programming division at Langley. Then there's Dame Stephanie Shirley, who started her career as a mathematical clerk in a post office, and later pioneered an incredibly successful all-women software company in the 1960's.

Technology is all about connection: it's working with people and bringing together a community. Technology is part of everything we do; so, even if a career in tech hasn't immediately occurred to you, it's totally in reach. Young people have a level of digital competence that put them ahead of the technological learning curve.
