Hello Ada

Hello Ada is an initiative to share the word about all the cool resources for getting kids more intrigued about technology. We need more parents to become allies in this mission for increasing diversity in technology. Particularly, in AI research, a field where biases, regardless of how neutral you try to be, make themselves all the way into the final product. And, with half the population being female, we deserve the female perspective.

Episode 2 - High5Girls

October 26, 2022 • Nermeen Ghoniem • Season 1 • Episode 2

Today’s guest is Marianne Andersen, the founder of High5Girls. She has more than 25 years of international experience within the MedTech industry and Robotics/AI. She is also the 2020 Agnes and Betsy award winner – an award given to an engineer that has done something extraordinary for diversity in technology.

High5Girls is an organization focused on attracting young women, between the ages of 13-19, into the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

High5Girls organizes hackathons and hands-on camps for girls and young women. And, at the events, female role models with a background in the industry share their passion for STEM.

I am interviewing Marianne to hear more about High5Girls, why we need more girls in technology and how parents can engage with this mission through High5Girls, for example.
