Microsoft and Girls in Tech present - Code; Without Barriers Meetup Johor

Technology continues to have a growing impact on every person and organization. Yet gender and minority gaps continue to exist in the tech industry, limiting the potential for more inclusive innovations. To drive a change, Microsoft in collaboration with Girls in Tech APAC is launching its Code; Without Barriers meetup program to foster more diversity and inclusion in the developer community and beyond. The meetup is created to provide a platform to support, mentor, upskill and increase the exposure of women in their tech community.

ABOUT GIRLS IN TECH

Founded in 2007 by Adriana Gascoigne, Girls in Tech is a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating the gender gap in tech. We have more than 60,000 members in 50+ chapters around the world.

Girls in Tech started with an idea: There is a strong, smart and outspoken girl within all of us. We exist to make sure that girl is heard. Because when every voice, every perspective, every personality is honored and respected, we do better work and live richer lives. At Girls in Tech, we are passionate about inclusivity, because we know that tech today requires people of all skills and backgrounds. Whether you’re a data analyst, a creative, a strategist, an entrepreneur or a coder, you are needed.
