Notes:
Issues surrounding diversity have troubled the technology
industry for years. While tech giants have the ability to
architect often thrillingly imaginative solutions, the data or
lack of data on diversity reveals that these companies are less
than innovative when it comes to creating a workforce where
everyone has an equal shot at success. This
documentary-style course explores this issue, showcasing
efforts made at a variety of levels to address the issue of
inclusion in tech.eernLearn about four
individuals including Craigslist founder Craig Newmark and Black
Girls Code founder Kimberly Bryant who are leading diversity and
inclusion efforts at a variety of levels: developing
formalized processes within an organization, serving as a
diversity advocate and activist, becoming a vocal ally, and
forming an organization to help inspire young girls to pursue a
career in tech. Each of these professionals go beyond merely
calling attention to the issue of diversity in the tech
industry; they share actionable takeaways, and empower viewers to
understand that every member of the tech
industry whether they're an employee, manager, leader, or
philanthropist has the ability to affect change.
