Showing of ‘Code: Debugging the Gender Gap’

February 29, 2016 @ 6:30 pm

RENCI and the Carolina Women’s Center are proud sponsors of this showing of Code: Debugging the Gender Gap.

The film examines why girls and people of color are not seeking educational opportunities in computer science and explains how cultural mindsets, stereotypes, educational hurdles, unconscious biases, and sexism play a role in this national crisis. Expert voices from the worlds of tech, psychology, science, policy, and education are intercut with inspiring stories of women from various backgrounds who are engaged in the fight to challenge complacency in the tech industry and have their voices heard. CODE aims to inspire girls, women, and people of color to consider computer science as a viable career choice.

Join us on Monday, February 29 from 5 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. at the Sonja Haynes Stone Theatre (150 South Road, next to the UNC Bell Tower). Admission is free and open to all. Find more information and parking details here.
