Empowering Girls to Pursue Careers in Technology: CyberGirlz Silicon Valley Event
Across the technology sector there is a major disparity between men and women. Research indicates that while 57% of occupations in the workforce are held by women, in tech occupations this number dwindles to 25%. On May 20, 2017 representatives from Barracuda, CheckPoint, Cisco, Facebook, FireEye, Palo Alto Networks, Symantec, and Uber will descend upon Lairon College Preparatory Academy for panel discussions on women in technology and several fun activities for girls in grades 6-8.
