Day 3 Keynote: The Glass Walls of Tech
summary
Lists three concrete barriers to diversity: a society-wide root cause, widespread disbelief that gender inequity exists, and refusal to accept local responsibility, and pairs those claims with numbers — 18% of CS majors are women and 56% attrition by midcareer — and a program model: ChickTeck’s year‑long high school program serving 100 girls in 13 cities that provides meals childcare transit and one‑to‑one mentors, plus group exercises on stereotypes and micro‑affirmations.
