Not that these men haven’t contributed to STEM, but there are a lot of people that have contributed to STEM. There is a rich ‘herstory’. Whether it’s in the invention of GPS, Wi-Fi, bulletproof vests, or Bluetooth, there are many things women have done or contributed towards. But there’s been a very overt erasure of those stories and that narrative. It’s something we don’t see in our headlines, in our storytelling and we don’t see it as part of our collective history. If a company genuinely wants to change, there will be people facing bias in that organization who are crying out for change. Those people are leaving exit interviews, they are raising issues with affinity networks, they are speaking out loud.It’s alarming how much folks feel like they’re being left behind. Understanding tech now, in our everyday lives, shouldn’t be anything to do with the relationship you had with maths at school any more than the music you listen to today should have anything to do with your old music teacher. I can focus and see a problem as something clearly defined. That means that other people can support and help without too much work or convincing.
