Girls Belong in Tech.

Will You Join the Challenge? Greetings! In a world where women are vastly underrepresented in technology, Lenovo's "Girls Belong in Tech" initiative stands as a beacon of change. This unique event, held in partnership with NAF, at Lenovo's headquarters in North Carolina, exemplifies our shared commitment to emboldening the next generation of female leaders in technology.  Event Highlights - Dynamic Networking: Students fostered connections among young visionaries eager to make their mark in the tech industry through a vibrant networking session.  - Insights from Industry Leaders: [Candice Coletrane, Executive Director at Lenovo, led a fireside chat]( sharing not only insights into the tech industry but emphasizing the crucial role these young women play in shaping its future.  - Hands-on Learning: From coding sessions to design thinking workshops, every moment was designed to inspire, educate, and motivate. Students explored emerging technologies, AI, and the significance of diversity and inclusion in tech.  - KnoPro Civic Engagement Challenge: Students participated in an exciting presentation of [our latest KnoPro challenge, sponsored by Lenovo]( which encourages students to apply their tech skills to civic engagement, fostering innovative solutions to enhance community life.  "Girls Belong in Tech" was developed in 2020 by a NAF high school intern at Lenovo. The event showcased the power of young minds actively redefining the future of technology. These students, not just participants but architects, demonstrated how inclusivity and innovation can go hand in hand.  As NAF and Lenovo celebrate a decade of making a difference together, we are setting the stage for the next generation of tech leaders, ensuring they are equipped with the skills, confidence, and vision to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world.  Your support plays a pivotal role in making events like these possible for our students. It is through your generosity that we can continue empowering young women in tech.   [I AGREE, GIRLS BELONG IN TECH]( Thank you for being a critical member of the community shaping a more inclusive and innovative technology landscape.  Warm regards,  Libby Richards Community Engagement Manager, Lenovo North America [Facebook](  [X](  [Instagram](  [Linkedin](  [Youtube](   [View as Webpage]( COPYRIGHT © 2024.
