Rex Tech Talk: How to Get Girls Coding...!
We know we have a huge gap between men and women in tech careers. You can see the gap by walking into any optional computer science class.

What we need: Girls need to be coding before or by age 6 to help close the gap.
Why we need it: https://afrotech.com/study-reveals-gender-bias-in-stem-as-boys-begin-to-view-themselves-as-more-capable-than-girls-by-age-6
What we need: To increase the number of women represented in tech careers.
