Overview - How do you solve a problem like Diversity in Tech? Redressing the ...Technically Compatible
Last month we launched our series on Diversity in Tech, culminating in this summary of what we've learned and how things can change. The admissions of Google et al in the past couple of months have proven that there is safety in numbers, and not in a good way.
We have recently written about Developing Tech Talent of the future in an age of systemic shortages, and this resource acts as an extention of this, focusing specifically on increasing minority representation.
We look at the data, look beyond the facts, and review the initiatives across the industry as a whole which is attempting to redress the balance, in both the short and long term.

2. TakingITGlobal Youth-based website with a goal to ‘inspire, inform and involve’ (tigweb.com, 2011). Not an organization which has presence in communities, such as the Peace Corps or Unicef, but a resource for anyone or any group who wants to make a global difference. Site also contains headlines and information on global youth issues, interactive advocacy games, and statistical information on countries. Fun, bright, creative presentation. Inviting to guests, functional display, user friendly.
3. Nuts and Bolts Website encourages visitors to become a member and create a profile. A necessity in today’s information-sharing society, but only a few that I checked take part in this feature. Having a profile is a phenomenal tool in assembling groups to wage advocacy. Encourages youth-engagement and what a fantastic way to empower them. Indicates how many members originate from the country you are searching and how many of those members are currently online. Extensive action items for individuals, organizations and educators. It’s also translated into several different languages.
4. Taking it Global…to Africa My region of choice is Africa with an emphasis on youth education. This prompted me to conduct searches on this specific topic. My experience in doing so was quite impressive. First, each time I went to a different page, I was greeted in a different language! Conducting a search for Africa on tigweb.org not only returns information that TakingITGlobal is participating in, but information that other groups are doing as well. TakingITGlobal has also developed their own simple reference system called a TIG Tag. It’s a one word reference to simplify future searching. Magnificent!
