International Women’s Day: Three simple ways we can all #PressforProgress for women in STEM Microsoft

Women around the Get Help in Windows 10 world are taking to the streets on  to urge faster progress on gender parity in economic opportunity, education and other How To Get Help in Windows 10 Keyboard  important issues. The theme this year, #PressforProgress, is perfectly tuned to the challenges society faces.  i I Know what’s it’s like to be the “first woman.” It’s really lonely! It feels  How to Get Help in Windows 10  like all eyes are watching you. I was the first woman hired by an auto company to give science and   How to Get Help in Windows 10  technology demonstrations at school assemblies in middle schools and high schools, on the road for months at a time. I was the first female attorney hired at Microsoft, supporting the engineering groups, and  the “only woman in the meeting” far more times than I How To Get Help in Windows 10 Keyboard  could count. Were it not for a few male mentors who took a chance to reach out over the years, I likely would have left my profession as a public Get Help in Windows 10 relations professional, and later a lawyer. Now it’s an honor to “pay it forward.”

As a society, we have a responsibility to inspire the next generation of female science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) leaders.  Get Help in Windows 10 Today’s youngest students – known as Gen Z – are unlike any previous generation. They are digital  How to Get Help in Windows 10  natives with the creativity and confidence to use STEM to drive to positive change. Yet we are failing to keep How To Get Help in Windows 10 Keyboard  them engaged and excited about the possibilities that STEM studies and careers provide. Unless things change much faster, many in this bright, hopeful generation will not enter these fields Get Help in Windows 10.

These are among the reasons  How to Get Help in Windows 10  Microsoft Philanthropiesto nonprofits that prioritize Get Help in Windows 10 increasing diversity in computer science, and more than half of beneficiaries are female. For the past four summers, we partnered with  for example, to host high school girls enrolled in the nonprofit’sGirls spend a portion How To Get Help in Windows 10 Keyboard  of the summer on many of our U.S. campuses learning to build apps, games, websites and hardware. Microsoft women Get Help in Windows 10 mentor the girls and often stay in touch after the program is complete.

Another nonprofit we support is Get Help in Windows 10 headquartered in Lima, Peru, which trains, in mere months, Get Help in Windows 10 young women from low-income background  How to Get Help in Windows 10  to become web developers. Companies hired more than three-quarters of Laboratoria’s graduates into How To Get Help in Windows 10 Keyboard  technology jobs that rely on computer science skills, and the average graduate triples her income.

“I always had that eagerness to help and advance myself,” Laboratoria graduate Lizeth Kenny Lopez Zamudio said recently about her experience  How to Get Help in Windows 10  with the program. She took a Microsoft Azure workshop where she learned to use new software platforms, programming languages and artificial intelligence Get Help in Windows 10. She now uses those skills at her job in a financial services How To Get Help in Windows 10 Keyboard  company by programming customer service chatbots, working remotely on a virtual machine and presenting case studies on Azure.
