Podcast: 'Why fixing the gender gap in technology must start in the classroom'

Claire also addresses the various factors that impact why girls don’t get into STEM, why a third of women are leaving the sector and the importance of investors being more conscious of who they’re investing in.  “We don’t need any more mentoring, women don’t need fixing, we don’t need any more roundtables, benchmarking, toolkits or data. We know what the problems are we know what works: we need funding, leadership and support,” Thorne tells the UKTN Podcast.

Thorne founded Tech She Can to help address the “nationwide” problem of too few women in technology roles. The aim of the charity is to see women play an equal role in creating and developing tech businesses, products, and services that will ultimately shape the world and make sure that tech works for everyone.
