Please join us in ensuring talented young women entering into computer science studies have access to programming and strategic supports aimed to build a strong pipeline of future female leaders in this traditionally male-dominated field. Your gift will go directly to support Women in the Computer Science (WICS) mandate to:
- Promote the exciting option of computer science to young women entering university
- Produce orientation events for incoming female students
- Create an environment where women are supported in their work and studies
- Raise awareness of the gendered obstacles that women in computing face and provide students with the knowledge, vocabulary and strategies for mitigating these obstacles
- Assist each student to forge a network of like-minded technical women
- Provide technical interview preparation, sexism response workshops, Big CSters mentoring events, technical talks and workshops, career panels and trips to women-in-computing conferences
Please consider also sharing your commitment of women in tech by posting your thoughts on social media using the hashtag #WeBelongInTech. For more information about the campaign, contact Candace Harrington
