| | | | Bring your I.D.E.As In the Technical.ly Slack's #ama channel tomorrow — Thursday, Aug. 12 — I'll be interviewing West Chester-based Kristin Austin, Ed.D, from 12 to 1 p.m. Here's how she introduced herself to us: "I am the Director of I.D.E.As. (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access) for Rewriting the Code, a nonprofit missioned to increase the representation and diversity of women in tech careers. We achieve this mission by intervening at the undergraduate and graduate level through retaining the women in their majors! The disparity between women that persist in computer science (related) majors and men is appalling and we are seeking to close that gap!" What questions do you have for Dr. Austin? Bring them to our Slack at noon (and join here if you haven't already). — Technical.ly reporter Michael Butler (michael@technical.ly) | | | | | Top Stories | | By The restaurant discovery and rewards app maker received $100,000 from TEDCO's RUBRIC program.
