Awesome idea! Technology on it's own is kind of like Adam in the garden alone; which was the first thing God said was not a very good idea of His. His fix....WOMAN!! Tech industry could and should take note and follow suit.

The reality is however, women get paid SIGNIFICANTLY LESS than men for the exact same job. It's called gender discrimination, and ALL companies within the bay area does this.

@men...yes, this is true and I think that reality is a detriment to everyone; however, if you're responding to my comment, I'm not sure I get your point.

One of the really great things about this was - it was organized by young women. Now, how to organize it to pull in the Target Student middle school students in Crittenden Middle School and Graham Middle School? There was a recent Mercury News articles on immigrant job placement in the Bay Area, It noted that there was a reasonably high placement of immigrant (women) in tech positions. However - mostly South Asian. Is it possible to broaden that representation?

Also a good Merc article on what appears to be a Latina "Dr. Mom" who helped save her son's life at a soccer game. More comp sci females and more female cardiac doctors, all good. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste".
