Details:
she++: The Documentary (12 min: TV-14 DL) energetically proclaims ‘Hello, World’ after following smart, creative, and trailblazing technologists hard at work in hi-tech. This short documentary collects research and inspirational pieces of Silicon Valley’s unsung heroes to galvanize us to explore our potential as ‘femgineers’. Written and directed by recent Stanford University good girls gone geek, Ayna Agarwal and Ellora Israni.
After the documentary, we will have local women speak about their experiences working in the hi-tech industry:
Sara Haynes, Director, Product Management, PeopleAdmin
Katherine Cranford, Knowledge Management/Taxonomy, Dell
Kimmie Farrington, Data Scientist, Clockwork Solutions
Andrea Richeson, COO and User Experience Director, TradeMark Media
