CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap Screening

Women Who Launch aspires to create gender equal entrepreneurial ecosystems. We empower women to engage with entrepreneurship, whether as founders, funders or team members. We provide workshops, speakers and networking events to achieve this mission.

Women Who Launch

Celebrate International Women's Day with Women Who Launch and the University of Michigan Center for Entrepreneurship! We will be screening CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap. After the film, we will have refreshments and networking to discuss how to engage more women in tech in our community.
Film synopsis: Tech jobs are growing three times faster than our colleges are producing computer science graduates. By 2020, there will be one million unfilled software engineering jobs in the USA. Through compelling interviews, artistic animation and clever flashpoints in popular culture, CODE documentary examines the reasons why more girls and people of color are not seeking opportunities in computer science and explores how cultural mindsets, stereotypes, educational hurdles and sexism all play roles in this national crisis. Expert voices from the worlds of tech, psychology, science, and education are intercut with inspiring stories of women who are engaged in the fight to challenge complacency in the tech industry and have their voices heard. CODE aims to inspire change in mindsets, in the educational system, in startup culture and in the way women see themselves in the field of coding.
