The gender disparity in the technology and data sectors is a pressing issue, with women significantly underrepresented in these fields. Research indicates that gender biases and societal stereotypes influence career interests from a very young age, diverting many girls away from STEM-related subjects long before they make crucial educational choices. In this talk, we will explore the data-driven insights that led to the creation of the Girls in Data charity, which is committed to addressing this imbalance by fostering an early interest in data and technology among young girls.

By analysing extensive data on educational choices, societal expectations, and gender representation in tech, we reveal the critical points at which interventions can have the most impact. We will discuss how these findings have shaped our targeted curriculum, designed to inspire, educate, and empower girls to pursue careers in data and technology.

Join us to discover how you can contribute to this mission and learn how your company can partner with Girls in Data to build a more diverse and inclusive future workforce by engaging the next generation of female data professionals.
