Getting girls into tech
Through programs such as the RISE Awards and Anita Borg Scholarship, we’re changing the way girls think about careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and encouraging them to pursue studies in these fields. We’re also getting them excited about coding through Raspberry Pi at an early age.
Connecting women and helping them get the most out of it
Initiatives such as Helping Women Get Online in India are introducing millions of women to the power of the web, through safe access points and education about basic Internet use. In Pakistan and Malaysia, Women on the Web is helping female entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses through technology.
This is just the start of our efforts to get more women in Asia involved in using, shaping and creating technology. By increasing women’s participation in tech, we think we can improve outcomes for all. We look forward to sharing more as we continue on this journey.
