We’re excited to have him back in person this year at our first onsite STEM Inclusivity Forum in four years!
Furthermore, with this year’s theme of Tech for All, we’re hearing about life in tech from engineers breaking barriers in the tech industry, including Justin Friend, Head of Customer Onboarding at Adobe who previously led the Salesforce Racial Equity Task Force; and graduates from MissionBit’s free career prep program.
We’ll also be exploring various STEM opportunities offered by organizations providing internships, summer programs, and other tech resources for youth during a panel and networking breakout sessions, including representatives from Technovation, Girls Who Code, MissionBit, Pilot City, Bitwise Industries, and local high school robotics team CardinalBotics.
