3. GDG Women + Women Techmakers GDG Women is an initiative within the Google Developer Groups community to encourage greater diversity through mindful women-inclusive events. These events are organized by a GDG Women leader, target a technical women audience, include female speakers/facilitators, and include local women-in-tech partners. As these events are GDG events, content focus remains around Google tech. Our idea — inspire, motivate and share technical skills and knowledge about opportunities for women in IT. Our goal — show successful stories for famous girls, encourage them go ahead and improve their skills. Why Women Techmakers— girls are smart, we intend to create several active groups and a lot of scheduled event: offline and as well online.
4. Why are there few women leaders?
5. - Women systematically underestimate their own abilities - They do not negotiate for themselves in the workplace What needs to change? Women need to change how they act. We need to change our business policies and procedures. We need to get rid of gender bias.
6. Google Developer Relations Developer Relations are the canonical source of truth, both for 3rd party developers looking for documentation, best practices, and training, and for internal engineering teams who need to understand the thoughts and experiences of 3rd party developers, and to get candid technical feedback on their developer offerings.
