TechEd 2007 - Women in Technology


Women in Technology
Ani Babaian, Irene Pathy

During lunch time there was an great session with a panel of 4 women and an insider man :-P
This session was about the role of women in the technological world. They talked about topics like how to grow passion in technology among women, and how children should be taught that way.
Because women are so different from men, they must be reached in different ways. In USA, for example, there are some programs for young woman.
Another topic was the importance of women in developing teams. They're important in these teams. Why? Because diversity is good to create new things. By the other hand, women generally have great communication and people management skills.
I know that they also talked about motherhood, but I had already left to the next session. There were too many overlaps in this day... But check out at Susana Vilaça. He was there during all session. She hasn't posted about it yet, but I'm sure that she will soon.
