Terry’s team is experienced with working remotely, but they still have some challenges to consider for moving forward—like onboarding their summer intern and training users on new features. Terry, John, and Adam discuss

  • How Terry and the team are adjusting to working from home
  • Different tools they are using, such as MS Teams, and how they are taking advantage of some of the features
  • Maintaining open communication with the team and their client
  • The importance of maintaining the team dynamic and ways to accomplish that
  • Preparing for the start of their summer intern including figuring out how to make sure interns have a good learning experience and a positive team engagement in a remote work environment

When the first programable digital computer in the United States was being developed in the 1940s, computer programing was largely considered “women’s work.” During the 50s and 60s, the number of coding jobs began exploding. Employers looked for candidates that were logical, good at math, and meticulous. In this respect, gender stereotypes worked in women’s favor.

In 1984, 37% of all students graduating with degrees in computer and information sciences were women, but by 2010, only about 17% of students graduating in computer and information sciences were women.

In this episode, Michelle Scheuerman and Becky Crane discuss this decline and how we can grow the number of women in IT and why that is important.
