    Always teaches us that starting at any point is never to late, that's the inspiration I will be carrying on through my uni pathway.

    We need more female engineers, programmers, software developers in IT. Historically, IT has been known a male dominant environment. Time has come to put more focus on diversity.

    • @spankyspork5808
      @spankyspork5808 2 года назад +7

      But not purely for the sake of diversity. Focus on encouraging people of all stripes to be competent engineers, don't just throw them head first in the industry for the sake of a quota or the US will struggle to compete globally.
