Listen to the podcast
On episode 27, the henspeckles were flying. In April, we had a very lively chat with some very inspiring women in computing and computing education. This episode discusses the importance of educational organizations like the ones that these ladies are leading, addresses some challenges and opportunities for women in computing, and delves a bit into how these excellent women came to embrace programming.
On today’s show our crew of guests includes:
- Sumana Harihareswara (Wikimedia, GeekFeminism, the Ada Initiative, etc.)
- Jessica McKellar (Boston Python Users Group)
- Heather Payne (Ladies Learning Code)
- Geraldine Van Der Auwera(moderator)
- Katy Huff (moderator)
This episode was an especially energetic and broad discussion that touched on a number of important topics having to do with techniques for computing education, ladies in computing, inspiring our peers, and nurturing diversity in general. It was fantastic to have such a free flowing discussion and we hope that it’s as fun to listen to as it was to participate in.
