In this episode, Sara Kaiser, Program Director at Luxembourg Tech School, shares her experience of working with the next generation and the challenges - and possible solutions/steps - to attract and retain more girls in STEM courses.
A few key points include gender stereotypes and most importantly the stereotype threat -> the risk of confirming negative stereotypes that creates high cognitive load and stress to the point of reducing effective performance.
Sara also covers the importance of a positive social environment where peers are diverse and welcoming and where role models are visible and inspiring (both for girls and boys)
Other topics we covered include:
- How important it is to have people from diverse backgrounds, experiences and education in the tech sector
- How tech companies can profit from people coming from fields like the arts, humanities, etc
- Career changes and how to find your way to the broad field of tech
This episode is part of a series dedicated to the campaign "The power of Gender Equality" a campaign that KnowThyBrand and the LhOFT have launched to champion women in finance and technology
