Hacking the Gender Gap

In 2005, 22% of computer science graduates were women. This is down from 37% in 1985. Have you ever wondered why more women aren't working in fields of math, science and technology (or going to hackerspaces?) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7253/7559404682_ea83f2fc33_m.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/thehacktory/7559404682/)Join The Hacktory (http://www.thehacktory.org/) to learn more about the research on this problem and hear from others about personal experiences. We have a hands-on activity that will show how this problem persists, and identifies practical solutions each of us can use to combat it.

This event is free and open to participants of all identities, gender- and otherwise.
