Sara Chipps from Jewelbots at Red Hat Summit 2018

Inspired by her own teenage tinkering, JavaScript developer Sara Chipps set out to create Jewelbots with cofounder Brooke Moreland to expose the next generation of women to the possibilities of technology. Her goal is to dramatically increase the number of girls entering science, technology, engineering, and math fields. Chipps has been involved in open source since 2001 and Chipps was formerly the chief technology officer of Flatiron School, which is dedicated to preparing people of all ages for computer-science careers. In 2010, she co-founded Girl Develop It!, a national nonprofit that has taught more than 17,000 women how to build software.
