Breaking the Mold: Hema Jain's Perspective on Encouraging Girls in Technology

 Do you think encouraging girls to join the tech field has come a long way, and what struggles have you faced on this journey?

Significant progress has been made in encouraging girls to enter the tech field, but challenges remain. Initiatives like tech events and workshops have helped increase female participation by offering hands-on experience, and we’ve seen a steady rise in the number of girls pursuing computer science. However, some social barriers persist, such as the misconception that women in tech are mostly suited for design roles. Additionally, opportunities are often limited to select representatives at competitions, which doesn’t allow for widespread skill development. Expanding access and portraying computer science as a vital life skill, rather than just a subject, will inspire more girls to explore this field.
