  • This ain't your granddaddy's IT. It's different. And the world needs to know this. Technology, as well as all STEM careers, has a place for you!

The article by Paige Francis on Forbes discusses the importance of increasing the number of women in technology, highlighting the current gender disparity in the tech industry. It emphasizes the need for more female role models and mentors to inspire and guide young women into tech careers. The piece also addresses the cultural and systemic barriers that discourage women from entering or staying in tech, such as lack of representation, bias, and the "bossy" stereotype often applied to assertive women. Francis argues for a shift in perception where traits like assertiveness and leadership in women are seen as strengths rather than negatives. She advocates for initiatives like coding camps for girls, scholarships, and corporate diversity programs to foster an inclusive environment. The article concludes by stressing that diversity in tech not only promotes equality but also drives innovation and better business outcomes.
